You don't mention which version of SuSE but the newer ones (I think starting with 9.1) require 128Mb of ram to use YaST gui.
You're right, forgot to mention that. It's 9.2 :-) But even with text install, it's still complaining... Adding more RAM does work, but just want to get it to work with the 128Mb. Any options I could try ?
Add extra ram, install, remove extra ram.
That works I know, but the whole idea is to have a simple/fast install. Else it would go faster with a bootdisk, or external CD/DVD :-)
Or setup a swap partition before the install. You could do this using the "rescue" mode of the install procedure. Boot to the DVD, select rescue instead of install.
I've tried that already (with AutoYast), and it does start until it comes to the partitioning part. It figures out that /dev/hda1 is in use (for swap), and a repartitioning doesn't work anymore. System wil be halted :-( Harmen

Then use the "expert" form of partitioning so that it won't "auto-partition" the disk.
