Is there a way to install openSuSE 10.1 or 10.2 in text mode

I have just 128mb of ram and I wasn't able (of course) to install openSuSE 10.1 in graphical mode.

I haven't installed SUSE this way, but mandriva and knoppix both have a cheat code at the boot prompt that starts a text only installation. I think you get to the prompt by pressing F2 right after you boot. There should be a list of options. If it isn't there at F2, try F3 and so on. If you just get a prompt, try typing "text" and see what happens. Sorry I don't know more, but one of those should work.

Best of luck...
