I completed all the entries correctly, except for username and password for the ftp server. In Yast and yast2 these are already filled in. I have no idea what they are. Any suggestions?

The main problem was a Linksys router that would not let suse back into my system. I still cannot install from ftp. I choose root and boot, but yast starts and never lets me choose packages to load. I really expected the yast2 Installation scenario that you get from the cd1. I may have to give up on this project.

I have an Etherfast router, and have done a couple of FTP # installs through it without problems. Is yours over-configured? I haven't configured it beyond basic setup. I used the WAN IP, which looks like the IP address of the Verizon DSL modem (4.41.195.214), default gateway (4.41.192.1), DNS server for Verizon -- all these from the status screen of the web setup for the router. I used suse's IP 202.58.118.12 and /pub/suse/i386/7.3/. Everything loads into ramdisk, Yast starts. After that anything I do to choose a package results in a connection error message.
