Nice to see that I'm not the only one :-)

Well, I guess this is not an AY problem, since the problem also occurs
then I don't instruct linuxrc to call AY. I guess I will report it to
the general SuSE feedback.

However, Anas, if you want some more information for yourself, please
let me know.

For those who run into the same problem: Using vnc works. Specify
vnc=1 vncpassword=install (or whatever password)
as parameter e.g. in the append line in pxelinux.cfg, and you can
get yast in graphical mode via vnc from a different computer.

cu,
Frank
