So when I told it to go ahead with this install, it errored out again because the swap partitions interfered with each other. So my question is this: SuSE wants a 900mb swap partition, but will it run OK with the 509mb swap partition?
The direct answer is yes. But 900Mb swap for a machine with 128Mb is overkill. There is a rule of thumb, but I can't remember what it is :-( - in your case, I would probably opt for a 256M swap partition. You can set up your partitions using fdisk (with Knoppix or the SuSE rescue system), then start the install again.

The rule of thumb is 1 1/2 times your ram. For example, for 1 G of ram, you should have a 1.5 G swap space. Greg W
