A couple of points on the 10.2 install process:

First, it no longer gives you the option of skipping the "download latest 
updates" screen.  This is surely sub-optimal - I am on broadband, but there 
are others who are not, and it seems excessive to insist they download things 
before they can complete the install.

Second, the laptop offered to "register" a channel (I also added the non-oss 
one) and then spent 20 minutes downloading *something* (presumably the 
channel contents).  This had to be done again when Sax2 didn't work (see 
separate post), and the install restarted at the halfway mark.  Would it not 
be better to do the channel stuff as the very last stage in the install, so 
that a restart doesn't waste that time (and bandwidth)?

Third, when I opened YaST expecting to see these channels, they were nowhere 
to be found.  So what was it downloading, and where did "it" go?  I would 
have thought this is so obvious that it couldn't have been missed, so it is 
unlikely to be a bug (?), but I'd love to know what it was doing, and what 
became of the unfortunate download!  (I installed Guru's Smart rpms in any 
case, because I find it a better system.)
