Dear Peter,
The problem is just what you've described: the openSuSE install assigns an NTP
server which is not available (just because the firewall blocks outside NTP for
all but one machines) - so it takes _one and a half minutes_ for the install
routine to wait for the NTP server and recognize that it is not available...
It does mean that the install routine makes exactly that what you want me to
avoid...
I don't think that NTP server should be a static configuration value. Just as
the IP address, it also can be taken from the DHCP record if there is any, and
if not either a default or the LOCAL can be used. I admit it may be a longer
development if openSUSE uses static NTP parameters recently.
However, what I wish to see as a minimal solution that the install routine
would not wait one and a half minute frozen to reach an unreachable NTP server
during the installation. This is a bug and it should be fixed.
(röviden, magyarul: Pont az a baj az installal, hogy beállít egy NTP-szervert,
ami _nem elérhető_ és _másfél percig_ vár, mire erre rájön: pont azt csinálja,
amiről le akarsz beszélni... Létezik a DHCP-ben NTP rekord, lehetne dinamikusan
használni. Ha az openSUSÉ-ban ez most statikus, akkor ez nagyobb fejlesztést
jelent, de a másfél perces várakozást lefagyottnak látszó állapotban csak
hibának lehet értékelni, és jó lenne kijavítani...)
Thanks
Gyula
