Hi all... Well it didn't work! :( I have a Toshiba Satellite 220CS. It has a PI 133mhz cpu with 16mb main memory & 1.35gb hd. Right now I have 7.2 on it. It does not have a CD drive. Normally I use NFS to install Linux. I have a PCMCIA network card, very nice set up. When I booted 8.1 from diskettes when I loaded PCMCIA module it told me that I did not have enough memory so it had to start the swap part. OK fine it then loaded the module and keep on going. THEN when I started the NFS install it said that there was not enough memory to run YAST, starting swap. At this point I got an error that it could not start swap. I checked the error messages. There it said that swap was busy. Looks like the PCMCIA module started swap and did not turn it off or YAST does not check first to see if swap is running. I can not find anyway to either turn off swap before I start the install or to tell it that the swap is allready going. I know that the "best" answer would be to get more memory, but I don't have the cash for it. (Does anyone have Tos memory to recycle?) So what is the next best answer?
