May not be your problem, but my Fujitsu-Siemens S4546 has an external floppy and it has to be plugged in for YaST to work, for some reason, it accesses the floppy drive when you try doing anything in YaST (the floppy isn't defined as an install source), it doesn't find a floppy in the drive and after some floppy drive rattling, it carries on normally. I had this same problem since 8.2, SuSE Support gave up on trying to fix it. My PC doesn't go to the floppy, I even disabled the floppy in the BIOS, but it still goes to it. Regards Sid.

I have used the ulb for upgrades to Mozilla, Evolution, Gaim, so those are not the SUSE direct versions if that makes a difference.
In the past I have gone the route of fresh install but I wonder if I'm complicating my life with little to show for it.
I've just been installing to my laptop. Install went fine until the boot, now on the first boot, it is hung in a blank YaST screen (second stage install). Cursor is frozen. I'm going to shut down and try again.
