Knowing that the problem is insufficient memory I have lost
my interest. I could easily put the hard disk into a bigger
computer and install there. Presumably I could edit the
configuration files if necessary for the system to be bootable
on the old machine. Typically moving hard disks between computers
works fine:-)

No, they are not. I did not include the nic-extra modules because
I did not know that that is where they reside. My attempt to include
the nic-extra* failed because of memory shortage.
