Er... did you know that version 9 is just on sale now? Unless you got it cheaper.
the installation comes to a halt when YaST tries to mount the partitions. I keep getting stuck at this point :-(( and cant seem to get round it.
You are entitled to a few months of free installation support from SuSE, and your problem is covered. You need a working internet access (yours or somebody else's) to contact them.
Could not mount partition /dev/sda4 to /mnt/.
I had manually created the following partitions using the partition features for YaST
That seems correct. I assume they are not previously mounted.
After seeing the error message I tried to use this screen to manually mount the partition with this command
# mount -v /dev/sda4 /
That would be incorrect, you would loose your root filesystem. It should be mounted to /mnt, I think.
When I examine screen Ctrl + Alt + F4 I see steady progress then a full screen of data as the mounting begins.
