9.1 Personal, Minimum Requirements?

Looked all over the SuSe website and could not find this info, all I found was the min. rqmnts. for 9.1 Pro. Are they the same?

I'm looking to install 9.1 Personal on an old Pentium 200 MHz machine and want to make sure it will work befor purchasing it.

Hey, welcome to the best SuSE forums ever!!

I have the answer to your question! The SuSE recommended system requirnments are the following:

Processor

Intel: Celeron, Pentium® to Pentium® 4, Xeon®, EMT64®
AMD: K6/II/III, Duron™, Athlon™, Athlon™ XP/MP, Athlon 64™

Main memory

At least 128 MB are required for the installation with YaST2 in graphical mode; 256 MB recommended

Hard disk

400 MB to more than 2 GB (Personal Edition) or 6 GB (Professional Edition) for the installation of all packages; 2 GB or more recommended

Graphics cards / Sound cards

Most modern sound and graphics cards are supported.

Digital cameras and memory sticks

Most modern USB digital cameras and memory sticks are automatically recognized and supported.

ISA plug & play cards

ISA plug & play cards may have to be configured manually.

Good Luck!

That matches what I found here under 9.1 Professional, so 9.1 Personal has the same min. requirements as 9.1 Pro?

It should most likely be the same system requirements. I don't see why they would be any different.

9.1 should work fine but you may see it a bit slow only because of the CPU's speed. If you can up the RAM it may help. The only thing I would suggest you do is get the Professional version it includes sometimes need software. It is worth the extra money.

Installing suse 9.1 on a system with only 64mb memory is possible too, you only need to create a swap partitie on your hardisk first.(I used for that an old suse 8.0 boot cd)
Then install 9.1 and point yast when it asks for the swap location to the swap partition on your harddisk
