Thanks all. I tend to think that whatever the problem is, it has to do with this old beater computer I'm experimenting with.
FYI, the error that I get when trying to install in the first place, is something like 'cannot start YAST gui, less than 96mb available, then it goes to the text install mode. The drive has 80gb or more, the computer has 512mb ram, and I tried various settings for the AGP aperature in the event that had anything to do with it, currently set to 256mb...

Ok, lets try this - start some live distro - like knoppix or INSERT Linux (the latter one is only 60MB download). Use the partitioning tool - like gparted, and create a swap partition with the size of 1G. Then reboot and start a new install. The installer will use the created swap partition if the memory for running it is not enough. Also, make sure that before the install starts, you check all CDs, there is check media option, so you know that there's nothing wrong with the install CDs themselves. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
