Hi BandiPat, this report is a very verbose duplicate of bug 173291: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=173291 Reporting it here on this mailing list doesn't make anything better. Don't get me wrong, it's an extremely annoying and bad bug and I expericenced it myself - it almost prevented me from installing 10.1 at all - but it is known and fixed. Unfortunately it was discovered too late for 10.1, that's why you are experiencing these problems. Just in case you are still interested in installing 10.1, you can try it this way: - Install a minimal graphical system without KDE and GNOME. Just the minimal preselection. Do not select any additional packages. - The installation will probably finish successfully, because the probability that a package cannot be read and crashes YaST is lower this way, because the number of packages to be installed is smaller. - After finishing the minimal installation, log in to FVWM2 and install KDE or GNOME from there. If you wonder what happens: There is a bug in the user interface code of YaST that makes YaST crash each time it shows the dialog you described above: Retry, Abort, Ignore => Crash. It's not unusual that a package cannot be read from the CDs, I had that in every previous installation of SUSE Linux and it was never a problem, but this time it makes YaST crash - bad, but not fixable after the release. Good luck if you want to try this workaround, and I hope it helps a little bit, Andreas Hanke --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
