installing suse with 64 mb

Hi there, I've got an old toshiba satellite laptop and want to put suse 9.2 fluxbox, abiword and other smallish apps on it. However, before I can get to install I am told that the system does not have enough memory to run yast and needs a swap. Since 64 mb is not enough to run knoppix or mephis I am unsure how to proceed (that is get the swap set up). I tried gentoo for a laugh but stumbled straight away at fdisk /dev/hda (unable to seek on /dev/hda). Can I still try Suse or should I go for another distro? if so, any recommendations? Thanks in advance Ingo
