Need to get some info from you first about how your drives(s) are set up.

Open a terminal and type
Code:
 su
followed by your <superuser> password.

Now type
Code:
fdisk -l
and then post the results here.

This will show if your swap partition has been set up properly along with other info such as the drive(s) capacity.

I'm a bit confused, you HAVE installed SuSE but can't run yast, or you can't install suse neither?
