installing sources works, but is pretty long. This should be said when the option is asked for (recommended, but may take as long as 30 minutes)

Was this after you said yes to adding the factory installation source as an update source? If so, I had YaST seg-fault there and drop me to a KDM login screen without setting up the users. Apparently, this is known since someone's already opened a bug about it[0].
at the first automatic start, on the login page, the keyboard is in QWERTY mode (I had problems with my dummy root passwd). It may be noted than no user account was asked for and than so the only account available was root one.
That sounds familiar.
after starting I got an open kde menu (but my cat runned on the keyboard, so this may have buffered keys :-) and a kde crash window, with no desktop icons at all
Don't know about that because I swapped to a console and started YaST there to set up some users.
I asked for a reboot and got an extremely fast one (evidently a soft reboot) and the usual "bomb" root desktop (the first was the usual user blue)
at the first cold start (normal switch off the computer, then on again), yast say the install failed (no notice before).
Exactly the same. It appears that since the YaST seg-faulted and quit during the install, the install script didn't pick up the failure, thought YaST had finished completely and continued on to the login prompt. Upon restarting, YaST pointed out the failure to complete the installation and started back at the package selection stage. However, it seems to have noticed that that part had completed and so continued to asking for the root password. After that it continued to network settings where it picked up the proxy settings but insisted on turning on the firewall even though the first time around I'd turned it off. Next it successfully did the internet connection test and asked if I wanted to set up an installation source. After the previous seg-fault, I chose not to at that time.
