Online Update during install hangs PC
Just a warning, currently it seems that trying to do an online update during the install causes the system to hang - on my machine it tried to download the Kernel package, but after 2 hours it was still at 0%. There doesn't seem to be a timeout on this process and all user action buttons other than help are greyed out. The only solution was to reset the machine and start the install from scratch - the update happens before any passwords have been given, so, although the machine boots to a login prompt (it doesn't start the installation process where it left off), not even the root account is accessible because it hasn't been given a password and an empty password doesn't work... I've reported this as bug 171588. I am not sure if this was a server issue, a synchronisation issue or a duff package issue, but currently if the process hangs, there is no way of proceeding with the install. -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said.

I tried the online update, _after_ the install. The kernel patch says it will download 2.51 GiB! Obviously, I unclicked that one. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEW+AitTMYHG2NR9URApw4AKCXMdE2IGXFiAeSCjmmBAVEbbpQeQCdEep8 fqK+ykD5bfYZ2NazU36SYYA= =Epyv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Maybe Novell/SuSE should add a feature like in current Windows printer drivers: "Click here to order an update DVD" (no, the printer drivers actually want to order ink catridges ;-) Regards, Ulrich
