You 'n' me both...

No. The machine is 100%, completely, totally and utterly stiffed. As 
dead as a very dead thing.

I tried installing it on another machine, in case it was a hardware 
problem, but this time I got the error that there wasn't enough memory 
to run YaST. It's a very *old* machine... :)

Indeed. It's the filename that was wrong.

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/iso/MD5SUMS

... although that redirects to:

http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/iso/MD5SUMS

The checksum file you suggest is exactly the same. Checking my ISOs 
against it gives failures on all five i386 discs, but an OK on the 
mini.iso with the correct filename.

BTW: I've also tried booting with textmode=1, which did cause YaST to 
revert to text mode, but it still hung in the same place...

Many thanks for all your help and suggestions,

PJ.
