[opensuse] Making the installer less chatty?

We're installing both openSUSE and SLES systems. Some of these systems are installed via a console that is effectively a 57.6Kbps serial link - so not blazingly fast console I/O. These installs are taking over an hour to complete on pretty fast hardware - probably due to the slow serial console. We're moving the packages to install over gigabit ethernet, not from a DVD or CD, and definitely not via the serial link :) So my question is: "Is there a way of making the openSUSE 10.3 and SLES 10.1 installers less chatty, so the installs can move along faster when done via a serial console?" (When I say "effectively a 57.6Kbps serial link" I mean IPMI v2.0 Serial Over LAN - IE a rather modern server technology, not some old Wyse 50 hooked up to a PC :) Thanks! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
