Unfortunately it doesn't work. Can't get yast to start in textmode. I found a bypass however with UUCP, which is able to reasonably display the xterm version of yast. I now start:

*cu -l /dev/ttyS0 -s 9600*

to connect to the serial port and it works much better.

You can also try a VNC installation. Boot with 'install vnc=1', linuxrc will ask you for a temporary password. Use a 6, 7 or 8 chars password. -- short story of a lazy sysadmin: alias appserv=wotan
