I have an old AST Advantage! P60 w/8mb ram and 420 mb hdd. This will
become my firewall.  I managed to load suse 6.3 (minimal, no X) from the
cd set. It wasn't easy but it worked. I let suse partition the hdd. I
believe the swap partition is about 16 mb. Now I am trying to
upgrade/install samba-2.0.7.rpm and ssh.rpm (both from suse sites) via
yast and I get the following message: 

        "unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic".

I have successfully upgraded/installed them on my main
suse box (dell) using the same downloads. I ftp'd them from 'dell' to
'ast',  in bin mode.  

I thought perhaps something was corrupted during the initial install of
6.3 since I had so much trouble, so reinstalled everything yesterday. All
dependencies were satisfied according to yast.  It did not help.

Could the trouble be caused by so little ram?  Any other suggestions?
