Yast1 hung ftp restart possible?

Is there a way to stop and restart Yast1 so that a hung ftp based install can be restarted without starting over? I had to spend a long time selecting packages and don't want to repeat that. I'd like to manipulate the system without rebooting by unix commands and by knowing where the yast1 current configuration files are. I would like to generally do something like this at the linuxrc root prompt: kill -HUP yast1 yast1 -configfile -mirrorservername -fileofselectedpackages Is this possible? Or is it possible to give Yast1 a signal to let me reconfigure the mirror used and then pick up where the ftp process hung? I am experienced with IRIX "Inst" and am looking for the equivalent type info. Thanks for the help, Dow
