Linux] Yast (yet again and again)

I had the same problem. You just have to delete a file whose name I don't remember. But I do remember what I did. Look (grep) for that string ("YAST will start..."). The file that you find is a script that looks for a file, and if this file exists, it starts YAST. Well, you just jave to delete that file. I would look for the script, but I haven't SuSe here (at work). Good luck.

I know this has been talked about before, BUT untill it happened to me, I almost ignored the problem. Well I can't I have 30min to be able to finish a install at school (in between classes)

Ok I have put SuSE 5.1 on a DX33 16meg of ram and 512K vram for video. Got everything working (a bit slow) but..

Yast keeps on wanting to start, every time I get to boot it up (durring the 30minutes of time I have) Well.. today I got the chance to boot it up and let it sit there while I went to classes so YAST could finish up doing its thing.. 4 hours later I get back to it, (I left it as it started updateing the man pages after perl and wm setups..) well anyways I get back to the computer 4 hours later and it back to the screen where it wants to mount the cd-rom (AGAIN) and the 'finishing up by running some scripts' so I run out to the car 2 miles away <g> and put the SuSE disk 1 in and it reads it..and FSCK right back to "running some scripts, starting with PERL..ect.."

Well what the HECK!! How many times do I got wait 4 hours (heck Im sure I could leave it on all day) and ever 1 hour have to put in the CD-ROM SuSE disk and have PERL and all the other things update OVER and OVER again.

Well, HOW Can I KILL YAST!! and when I boot again, I don't want the scripts to run again, ever again with this "starting(finishing up)Yast will start some scripts on console F9" I never wana see this again.. Please tell me how to get rid of it ..
