I have a gateway lp 550 mini tower that was ruuning windows 98 on it. Anyways, sometimes when starting it up it would give an error message that no operating system was found. So I decided I wanted to give SUSE Linux Professional 7.0 a try and installed it on there with no problems. I relized I didn't put some of the free software that I wanted with the first install, so I uninstalled it and started with the new install and now when I boot up with the Linux cd it says YaST2 is loading setup then it comes back with an red error box stating an error occured click OK and it won't go any further. I even went and used fdisk to delete the old partitions and create new ones and formatted the new ones. I also tried to go back to installing 98 back on it but it won't go no further than copying files phase for setup. Any help on this problem would be much appreciated. Thanks inadvance.

SuSE 7 is so old you are probably not going to find much support for it, the current version is 9.3.

Rather than spending hours fighting an old Linux version grab something current where the problem is probqbly fixed. If you like SUSE you can download the latest
