Hi All,
I'm new to Suse, I received a trail CD and would like to load it on my laptop.
However my laptop has only 32Megs of Ram, and the GUI installer states after a while that it needs 48 Megs to use the GUI. My question is, is there a text based installer, and if so how do I start this instead?
Many thanks,
Ahbaid.

Boot from CD1. At the lilo prompt enter the word "manual". This will led you into the text install / choose install mode. Or boot from floppy.
