I was astonished to see that openSUSE 10.3 got installed on my old machine which has 192Mb RAM, intel 815 motherboard with P3 500Mhz processor. When i stated the installation it stated that yast could not be stared due to less memory and it asked to make a swap partition.I made a new swap partition of 2Gb, activated it and yast started and normal installation started.And its working at a good speed and i working as primary OS on my old machine.(I m using KDE, don’t know if gnome will also work).
