It seems you're out of RAM.

Add another gig or two (swap worst case) to the system and try again.

You are right -- I forgot to look how many ressources
the OS needs -- and openSUSE with KDE takes lots of. I
try to use another distro that doesnt need so much, if
this doesnt help,
I take more RAM.

yes, I'm using 'cheetah_1p.bsd'

Thanks
