See: http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc (parameter AddSwap) Is that enough? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I hate the idea of some swap file getting created without me saying so, on a machine with pre-built filesystems, and if the disk isn't partitioned yet it's going to fail anyway, and if the disk is being partitioned, it can increase the min swap requirements by 200MB or so. If I'm chosing special installs, I should be competent to <CNTRL><ALT>2 and fix things, or add "addswap=-1" to the commandline to start the install. Finally isn't it a better idea to add the extra repositories after an initial installation? Then your Lo memory machine doesn't suffer brutal thrashing, due to YaST having to Page In/Out all the time during initial install. I'd hate to have it takes hours and hours, only to find it fails for some dumb reason late on and I have to start over. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
