    ramdisk problem

    hi, I'm having a problem with the installation of SuSE 9.1. I only have 128 mb of RAM (which is supposed to be enough), but after the rootimage is loaded into ramdisk, it says there is not enough memory to run YaST. I'm not sure whether I should create swap space or disable the ramdisk. Documentation says I should disable the ramdisk but I can't figure out how to do it. Any help appreciated, thanx.

    What bootloader do you use? Disabling the ramdisk is as simple as removing the "initrd" line in your kernel line in the bootloader config file.
