I have an old AST Advantage! P60 w/8mb ram and 420 mb hdd. This will become my firewall. I managed to load suse 6.3 (minimal, no X) from the cd set. It wasn't easy but it worked. I let suse partition the hdd. I believe the swap partition is about 16 mb. Now I am trying to upgrade/install samba-2.0.7.rpm and ssh.rpm (both from suse sites) via yast and I get the following message: "unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic". I have successfully upgraded/installed them on my main suse box (dell) using the same downloads. I ftp'd them from 'dell' to 'ast', in bin mode. I thought perhaps something was corrupted during the initial install of 6.3 since I had so much trouble, so reinstalled everything yesterday. All dependencies were satisfied according to yast. It did not help. Could the trouble be caused by so little ram?
