Question about System Requirements Dec 10th 2012, 06:33 I just want to install OpenSUSE for testing purposes. I figure Linux should only take a few GB for install. The system requirements say only 3gb, which sounds right to me. This is an old P4 but that shouldn't make a difference. I have a 40gb HD which I want to test some multiple boot scenarios. I partitioned it like so: 500mb FAT32 (primary) which will be an old OS like DOS 22gb NTFS (primary) which will be Win7 6gb unallocated 3gb FAT32 (logical) a data partition 4gb NTFS (logical) a data partition I want to install OpenSUSE into the 6gb unallocated space. When I go reject the various shrinking of my existing partitions and try to tell SUSE to install in the unallocated space I get the message that I don't have enough room? Shouldn't 6gb be enough? Quote: Requirements for OpenSUSE Pentium* III 500 MHz or higher processor (Pentium 4 2.4 GHz or higher or any AMD64 or Intel* EM64T processor recommended) 512 MB physical RAM (1 GB recommended) 3 GB available disk space (more recommended) 800 x 600 display resolution (1024 x 768 or higher recommended) I just need OpenSUSE to set up its partitions in the unallocated space. The suggested partitions are shrinking my various partitions by huge amounts and giving OpenSUSE like 20gb for its primary and a couple of 1.5gb partitions. When I reject those and tell it to install in the 6gb it says it doesn't have enough room. I'm only trying to install the 700mb Live CD version (Gnome). I'd really appreciate any help figuring out what I am missing on he install screens. Thanks! :)
