Hello all,

I've got an old Pentium with 32 MB RAM and a 4 GB drive.

Apparently SUSE 9.0 needs at least 64 MB RAM to install. Does anyone
know if any of the earlier versions of SUSE will work on the system I
describe?

Regards,

Richard Huelbig

Had to maintain this kind of machine recently. Was originally shipped with
98/ME.

So the historical context version would be some 6.x, up to 7.1/7.2 for use
as graphical desktop. These are not supported any more, so better try 8.x
with a text-only minimal installation, for security reasons.
