Hallo,

I tried to install Webpack 9.1 on three different Suse 10.2 machines:
Centrino with 1.5 GiByte, Dual P2 with 640 MiByte and Athlon with 512 MiByte.
Only on the Centrino machine, the install finalized. On both "low-memory"
machines, install aborted without any further notice at about "86 %" of the
install progress bar.

"strace" showed
18644 mmap2(NULL, 8392704, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS,\
-1, 0) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
18643 <... nanosleep resumed> NULL) = 0
and soon after that
18644 --- SIGABRT (Aborted) @ 0 (0) ---

Plenty of Swap was available, but not touched. "top" reported over 1 GiByte
"VIRT" memory usage short before that abort.

Any other similar observations? Is this perhaps somethind Suse/Linux
specific?

Thanks

Installs fine on a 360 MB memory Linux Debian machine here.
Are you sure swap was enabled?
man swapon?

Oh and it says it only works on 32 bit processors, the Athlon is out?
