The ftp-Installation requires some more RAM than the CD installation. The
VFS warnings can be ignored.

I must (once again) correct myself. 16MB does not seem to be enough for an
ftp-Install in SuSE 6.0. However, there's a workaround: Make sure, that
you already partitioned your disk and created and initialized swap-space
on your hard-disk. Now choose "ftp-Install" and wait for YaST to load. As
soon as you see the progress-bar (Starting YaST), press CTRL+S when the
bar is past the first half of the screen. You should now have a root-shell
on console #2, where you can add swap space using the "swapon
<Swap-Partition>" command. Verify this with the "free"-command. Now switch
back to console one and press CTRl+Q to continue. YaST should start up
fine now.
Good luck!
