So the question is, when does the installer enable swap automatically (I don't remember if it does), or do I have to enable it manually as soon as I can?
https://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc says there's a boot parameter AddSwap which you can use, for example AddSwap=/dev/sda1
Ah, thanks, I'll try that on the next one.
I have just done that, manually enabled swap as soon as I could; YaST2 starts fine and the installation runs much faster than on previous tests. It is using about 250MB of swap.
That sounds like swap isn't enabled by default - at least not early enough.
Yes, exactly. With that low memory, 512MiB, Yast has problems to start. Even text mode has crashes. Once I activated swap it did complete the installation fine. With 768 we know that it runs into problems much later, during package selection. No need to test swap creation here, it will work. I'm trying now 896MiB. If it can install it will be barely. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
