Hi, For ftp installation you will need more ram.
Or use a swap partition. You could use an existing swap partition, or use the rescue system to create one: --menu.lst-snip-begin-- title Rescue System kernel (nd)/linux insmod=e100 install=http://10.73.59.88/pub/suse/i386/9.1 splash=silent rescue=1 showopts initrd (nd)/initrd --menu.lst-snip-end-- There is a 'fdisk' program to manipulate partitions in the rescue system. As the installer will use that partition, you can't format that swap partition during installation. You have to add 'AddSwap=1' to the kernel lines in menu.lst: --menu.lst-snip-begin-- title SuSE Linux 9.1 Installation kernel (nd)/boot/suse-linux-9.1 insmod=e100 install=ftp://10.73.59.88/pub/suse/i386/9.1 AddSwap=1 initrd (nd)/boot/suse-linux-9.1.initrd title SuSE Linux 9.0 Installation kernel (nd)/boot/suse-linux-9.0 insmod=e100 install=ftp://10.73.59.88/pub/suse/i386/9.0 AddSwap=1 initrd (nd)/boot/suse-linux-9.0.initrd --menu.lst-snip-end-- For the syntax for AddSwap, see /usr/share/doc/packages/autoyast2/html/x1808.html, near the bottom of the list. I used a 200 MB swap partition on a P133 with 98 MB. Worked fine. Cheers, Leen
