Ok. Something is going on your side, but its not clear what. I assume you have a local network, try to login to the inst-sys via ssh. Boot with these cmdline options: 'install hostip=1.2.3.4/16 gateway=1.2.3.1 nosshkey usessh=1 sshpassword=foobar' This will bring up the network and give it a static IP address, adjust the value for your local network. This should allow you to login as root into the inst-sys. You can run 'yast' from there and do the installation. -- short story of a lazy sysadmin: alias appserv=wotan
