Hello, I post this for infos. I just installed 13.1 on two old laptops (lifebook and HP compaq), with only 512Mb ram the two of them failed at first, that is on the very end yast freezed. On the HP I could reboot the flash card I used, go to update and finish the install (I had to choose "show all partitions"). no user was installed, but root was and I could so finish installing and updating the system. on the lifebook, even the update failed, but I discovered by chance than grub was working and the distro booting, but no user was available, not even root. so I had to boot a rescue disk, mount --bind proc, sys and dev, chroot and set the root passwd after that all could run and I'm updating right now. so, you see, one don't have to give up too fast :-) a second remark. I had last week to install 13.1 on a virtual machine hosted by my own server online, 12.3 for the host. Very powerful machine, host with i7 and 24Gb ram, virtual by virtualbox 2 proc and 8Gb ram. The installs screen of yast2 (graphical, ssh -X, virtualbox graph interface) was *deadly slow* - nearly unusable, specially for language selection. I noticed this because I had the same day to reinstall a 12.1 on this very same machine, and it was pretty fluid on the exact same circumstances. why is 13.1 install so slow, I don't know, I didn't experience such things on my old laptops. jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
