[NTLUG:Discuss] SuSE 9.2 ftp install

[Ralph Green, Jr.]

Howdy,
  I have been telling people lately that you can install SuSE for free
by using the ftp install.  I found a bug in the install this week.  I
was trying to install on a ThinkPad 570 with 128 meg of ram.  Even with
a swap file, the install fails.  I tried it a number of times with
slight tweaks and it always failed.  I gave up and installed from a USB
CD and it went fine.  So, I think I would say not to do an ftp install
of SuSE 9.2 if you only have 128 meg of ram.
