in fact the disk is already partitioned, but I want to keep my existing linux up, and the default partitioning sheme is to recover it, so I need to say where is / :-) > > Anything "special" like LVM ? > What filesystem (reiser3, ext3, xfs) ? no. the only special thing is that I start with grub and linux/inird copied from the cd. this install tools is configuring the pcmcia, but not completely so I can't read the cd and need to copy the cd content to the hard drive. result is at some time yast lasting for ever, visibly on an infinite loop reading the hard drive. I think there has been an variable allocation too big for the physical ram and not cachable in swap (but I don't know for sure, of course) > Jean-Daniel could you *please* avoid such stupid and polemic statements. > Of course no one wants to "push all these people out of SUSE world", > such statements are - excuse me - just plain dumb. alas it's not stupid. this has been the SUSE way from the beginning. each new suse asks for more computer power, just for install with yast. > > Did you see some statement somewhere that SUSE Linux is not supposed to > run on older hardware ? I didn't. Hence, this is just a bug on this > particular notebook, that's it. alas, I do!!!! http://www.novell.com/products/suselinux/sysreqs.html "Main memory: At least 256 MB; 512 MB recommended" and most low end computers have only 128 http://www.pckado.com/catalogue_client/Main.php?do=stdList&rubrique=ordinateurs so, true, my laptop can't. notice that I don't really need 10.0, I could really well live with 9.1 if the security upadtes where here. after all the kernel is already 2.6... so may be the solution could be to keep _one_ low end distribution downloadable and with at least security updates for ten years. or may be we need a full console install, with no semi-graphical interface jdd :-( -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
