The machine she installed SuSE on was a 125MHz with 40 Meg of Ram, no CD Rom. From what I could conclude from far away YaST2 got invoked automatically. After a while the installation broke off because YaST2 demanded 48 Meg of Ram. There was a choice to choose YaST as installer and my friend got eventually SuSE installed.
I was kind of stunned to see that it used a 48 MB ramdisk since most of our workstations only have 32 MB of ram.
This seems to be a minor problem. I just like to stress to the SuSE people that even though we are in the ages of 1 GHz+ processors and workstations of 256+ Meg of Ram I personally prefer tools which run on most hardware.
I like to plead for SuSE to continue the development of YaST in the future and not abandon it, if they intend to do so. It is needed, even if only 10% of all users use it, it makes their life a lot easier.
I hope they do, too. greg Because e-mail can be altered electronically, the integrity of this communication cannot be guaranteed. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
