What can I do about it?
I did an installation on a system with only 128 MB. Because of ZMD you have to have about 512 MB to install if you do not have a swap space. I create a swap space on the disk by using <ctr><alt><F2> and fdisk then back to <ctr><alt><F7> to continue. You can install as long as you have a swap space. I usually create a 100-500 MB win32 partition then a 750MB-1GB swap partition. The my ntfs and other partitions.
