If R3d's post isn't an option get yourself a partitioner like Partition Magic and make the partitions from Windows if Windows is on the PC. If not yeah I would just make it dedicated. On a system like that give yourself at least a 1GB swap file since your RAM is so low.

Unfortunately, I've never done a proper SuSE install to be able to say what to do. If you want to change the options you may have to tell it you want to do a "Manual" install or something along those lines.
If you get a specific error message, defintely pop it into google.. see what comes up. Also, SuSE 9.1 is out. You could try that (as they'll have things like an updated/better installer and system). |
