[opensuse-ppc] 10.2 DVD install miniMac PowerPC
Looks like the graphics driver is not loading, during installation, the text mode installer indicates that there limit memory thus text base install. After installing it still provides a text base UI. The miniMac has 256M of RAM. I installed FC6 and uses X for the installer and it can use X after installation. Looks like it is not finding the graphics card. Any ideas?

Not enough memory during install usually refers to no /swap file available during install. As root, from console 1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) do an 'init 3' then run sax2 to configure video card and monitor and test & save, then do 'init 5' and you should be good from then on.

It did find the graphics card but openSUSE 10.2 install seems to want more than 256MB of memory and your /swap space wasn't active when the test for GUI was done.
