Yast installer with ok/cancel only

Hi! Did anyone found any workaround for the Yast installer who offers only the small window with "ok" and "cancel" in a loop? Apt-get -s upgrade offers me the "option" to re-install all the packages I have on my system, which is not an option :D I made all the official ftp updates on that machine... any hints? I like Yast installer and I want it back!!! Regards, Radu
