[clue-tech] trouble installing Suse THANK YOU

[John S Brigham]

I had trouble installing SuSE. 

Symptoms:  The Dell booted up and , after a series of screens, the YaST
started the installation.
                    After maybe 5 minutes, a red box appeared
"installation halted.   Okay"
                    When the "okay" was checked a linuxrc box appears.
                    I click "recover system" and get an error, 
"insufficient RAM memory"
                    I took the computer back to vendor.  He said that it
needs more RAM for Linux.  
                    He put in another stick of memory and I am up and
running. 

I am committed to Linux and thinking of studying Unix.

Cheers

John
