Good point, YaST should either try to download automatically (after 60
seconds or so) or should give the opportunity to
[ Retry Automatically ].

Anyway, this would need to be configurable:
* Try automatically
* Max tries (for not to end up in a loop)
* Time wait

Please, file an Enhancement request.

Yes, it was a bug in RC1 when rebooting from First Stage to Second Stage
of the installation. Sometimes, there were two processes running under
the /mnt path (/mnt == Installation chroot). These processes were:
'ntpd' and 'dhcpcd'.

How exactly did you rebooted the system?
I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that in a minimal installation I saw
something like:
reboot: fuser: command not found

And 'fuser' is a command that can list or even kill processes running
depending on the directory that they have open. Please, write mote
details, you can additionally inspect the end of YaST logs:
/var/log/YaST2/y2log

Have a nice day
Lukas
