I tried to install 9.3 on a 4 GIG, then made room for 7 GIG and finally on a 10.6 partition and still get the above message. Something is wrong here.
Something is wrong, just doing a df on my work machine, my root partition is exactly 10 Gig, but I'm only using 7. That's the default install, with extras but nowhere near all packages. (Took about 3/4 of an hour from a reasonably fast DVD)
On the cluster nodes Suse9.3Pro let me install (a slightly customised versuin) into 4 Gig.
Maybe poke around in the partitioning part of yast and make sure you really have 10 Gig??
I just added knoppix 3.8.2 on /dev/hdb13 and kubuntu 5.04 on /dev/hdb14 and /dev/hdb15 with no problems. All three are 4GIG partitions.
