YaST crashes when reading the description files

Symptom:

You have a system with 8 MB (or slightly more) main memory. You have not yet configured any swap area. During the installation you want to specify the desired packages using YaST. After having chosen the corresponding menue item Choose/Install packages, YaST starts to read in the DU files.

The following two phenomena might occur :

In both cases an error message like the following appears:

Error: Exec Command,Detail:-1 File:System_Cmd.cc Line: 300

The errors can appear in the modules:

SerRetriever.cc
PkgRetriever.cc
DuRetriever.cc
System_Cmd.cc
Similar errors with another cause can also appear here. These are described in the SDB article "YaST aborts while reading the description files".

Cause:

The available memory is not enough to read the description files for the required hard disk space.
