Default Slackware 9.1 setup crashes with segmentation fault

Hi

I have just tried a full installation of Slackware 9.1 on my second
machine, but half way through installing the packages the setup program
exited with a Segmentation fault, and wouldn't load untill I rebooted
the machine. Here is the machine spec:

AMD K6-III 450MHz
TMC AI5VG+ mobo with 512KB PB cache
128MB PC100 RAM
ATI 3D Rage IIC 4MB AGP graphics
Maxtor Fireball 3 30GB hard drive @ Primary Master
256MB swap partition
Promise Ultra100TX2 IDE card (Not used at the mo as slackware can't seem
to use it so hard disk is currently on mobo IDE controller)
Quantum Fireball ST 2.1GB hard drive @ Primary Slave
Creative Sound Blaster AWE64 sound card
50X CTX CD-ROM drive.


Did the machine simply run out of memory - is my swap partition too
small - or is it something else??

There is 128MB physical RAM and 256MB swap memory.

Thanks
Steven Graham
