Doesn't the SuSE installer have fdisk or a similar partitioning program? //Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Yes it does, but unfotunately you have to load the entire installer first, which requires more than the 32 MB of RAM I have. Actually, isn't it ironic that they ask for a swap space before you've had the opportunity to create one, don't you think?
Anyways, I found a linux kernel that booted from floppy and I just used fdisk and mkswap (or whatever it's called) from there, so I'm all set. Of course, the installer keeps crashing now, but that's another issue that I have to figure out.
