So I have an old IBM ThinkPad i1200 and I'm trying to install openSUSE 10.2 from a DVD the install works fine until "Activating USB devices..._" then it freezes and doesn't do anything else. How do I fix this?

The laptop specs are Celeron mobile 700mhz 192mb Ram 60GB HDD

10.2 is 12 years old and support for it has ended 10 years ago. 192mb of ram is very low even by 2006 standards. Try installing puppy linux instead, or another ultralight distribution.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
