RE: [SLE] New SUSE version.

23 Feb 2000

      I *had* exactly the same problem, until I (accidentally) came across this
little feature...

Press <Tab> until you get to a non-character input field (eg, ok button,
tick box etc) and then press the corresponding number key for that F-Key...
("1" instead of F1, "0" instead of F-10)

Works fine for me! :)

Yes, this is because function keys don't travel well over telnet ;-)
Look in the 'General help for installation' option in YaST's 
main menu.
Basically, what you have to do is press Ctrl-F and then the 
number of the
function key. F1, for example, would be Ctrl-F and then 1.
Hope that helps,
