Hi there,
I've got an old toshiba satellite laptop and want to put suse 9.2 fluxbox, abiword and other smallish apps on it.
However, before I can get to install I am told that the system does not have enough memory to run yast and needs a swap.
Since 64 mb is not enough to run knoppix or mephis I am unsure how to proceed (that is get the swap set up).
I tried gentoo for a laugh but stumbled straight away at fdisk /dev/hda (unable to seek on /dev/hda).
Can I still try Suse or should I go for another distro? if so, any recommendations?
Thanks in advance
Ingo
Fujitsu laptop P-II/333Mhz, 64M, 2M video, 20G HD. 9.2 installed no problem, all the problems were with XP3000+ and XP3000+/64-bit laptop. Non-graphical install. Windowmaker, iceWM and Xfce4 are all responsive, KDE under 9.1 on it was so slow that just moving the mouse took it ages to settle. Go for it. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
