Description Per Jessen 2005-09-05 08:49:43 UTC 
I'm trying to boot the rescue system on a PII w/ 96Mb RAM - the load of
"Installation System" (about 59000kb) goes to 65% and then halts, after which
the system needs a hard reset.  Adding more RAM enables the rescue to boot, but
isn't 96Mb sufficient?
Comment 1 Per Jessen 2005-09-05 09:17:57 UTC 
Same thing with beta4 - loads 66%, then freezes.
Comment 2 Lukas Ocilka 2005-09-05 09:22:45 UTC 
I'm afraid, 96 MB RAM really isn't sufficient. 128 should be.
Comment 3 Per Jessen 2005-09-05 10:57:59 UTC 
I'm sure 128 is fine, but a normal SuSE install runs fine in just 96Mb.  It's a
little annoying having to resort to Knoppix for a rescue system.  
Anyway, I guess I can just use the rescue system from 9.x - they also work fine
in 96Mb. 
Maybe the 10.0 rescue system should check the amount of available memory instead
of just freezing?

Steffen?

It unfortunately _is_ that large. :-( 
But there is the 'rescuefloppy' on CD1 for small systems.
