    Was someone able to run the Yosemite Public Beta as Guest-OS with PD10 on a machine with only 2 GB RAM?

    Absolutely no problem with PD9 and Mavericks. But if I try to install the Yosemite PB (1 or 2), the Installer hangs after 10 percent - the same under VirtualBox (VMware Fusion could not assign 2 GB RAM). The PD10 System Requirements mention still a minimum of 2 GB memory.

    Test installation with Mavericks 10.9.4 as Guest-OS under Parallels Desktop 10.0.1 Build 27695 - same problem, the Mavericks Installer hangs after one third. The Resource Monitor from PD10 displays a Memory usage of 30 percent.

    2 GB RAM are not sufficient anymore for simply installing a OS and start a Web browser ???
