Hello, I work a lot with machines with limited amount of RAM, like:
I will add to this. I don't remember if the yast install console (there is one available, don't remember the F-number) allow partitioning, but the rescue mode allows it. however, with 10.2, when you _have_ made a swap partition, the automatic partitoner/installer is confused and don't allow to use it by default for the final install (it uses it for yast) practically, what I did: create a swap, mkswap, launch install... ok when come to partitioning (free disk), I was said that 3 partitions where needed: * my original swap one, * a new yast proposed swap partition, * the / partition. I didn't too much look at the details (alas), go to expert mode, delete the new swap and / yast proposal, don't touch my swap one, and add all the rest as / after that, yast complain it can't mount the /dev/hda1 partition on the "swap" mount point... may be my original swap part was reaffected by yast, but in a funny way :-). I had only to go back to partitionner, assign and format my swap as swap, the rest as / and all goes well. but, here, there are two potential problems: * a pre-existing swap should be used as swap :-)) by default * why was a "swap" mount point ever proposed :-) on such system, when a swap part is needed, creating it should be proposed jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://gourmandises.orangeblog.fr/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
