Ya, I did what Anders suggested and it still hangs at the fonts config part.
Can't boot to gui w/o fonts.  It's really should be this way, especially since 
I got the nvidia drivers working in beta-1 for 82 with 3D. I used the 
4191.ul1.i586 packages and then sax2.  I know I'd be fine if I could just get 
SuSeconfig to get past the fonts stage.  Right now I'm using yast to rm the 
new xf86 files and reinstall the original ones.

I hope they come up with a fix soon, this is extremely frustrating.

Cheers, Curtis :-/
