Installed okay with 384mb.
Since version 10.1 OpenSuSE requires 384 MB of memory to run in live mode. It's really a crying shame: There are so many old boxes with 256 MB or less memory and I cannot demo either of the top Linux distros on them. How do you convert people if they cannot try out the product? What other live distros are in the same boat?
