I installed a SuSE 6.x on a 386SX, 5Mb ram - just to prove myself it is
possible. The installer would certainly not run, but I simply took the HD
to another computer, and installed it there. I was simply carefull with
the HD position in the bus, and choosing a kernel. It booted, but it was
slow. I went back to the second computer, recompiled the kernel for a 386
- - then it run a bit faster.
Probably you can do something similar with your hardware and SuSE 10.
Other people might not have a good computer for this approach, though.
Another idea would be some program that allowed a remote install, but the
installer running in your local computer and installing in the remote one,
simply copying files, and perhaps running tests when told so. Does
yast have that posibility? I never tried, but?
Would that be possible? I guess it would need less memory.
