I double-checked this. A detail not yet mentioned is that the Live-CD requires more RAM for installation than does the DVD. With the DVD you will probably squeak by with the installation. With your RAM limitation, I suggest you consider LXDE for the window manager: It is now included with the DVD and supported, is very lightweight but still quite functional and attractive. Good luck.
I installed 11.3 on my son's Thinkpad X21(P3/700) the other day with only 256MB. I swapped out the RAM stick to get 384 after the install was done. Using the DVD(I also have the Dock for it), It activated the swap partition and used it after it started the install. It was activated after it finished partitioning/formatting. The swap partition was already there and I didn't change it. KDE4 was slow as molassas using either amount of RAM. Of course it's only got an ATI Rage Mobility chip with 4MB RAM as well. KDE3 from 11.0 ran fine, and LXDE on 11.3 ran very well. If you have the extra RAM, you can always install more and then remove when done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
