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.
