So, yes, it's better to do it after installation, when you can do something else on the computer while this is going on. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I downloaded it last night, but it failed the MD5SUM check. I tried again this morning, but only get a 350 byte file and an error message about a cyclic link. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Humm, here I can increase the length of the window in order to see which file is beinf downloaded. Just press the left-mouse button on the right edge of the window and increase it.

Just to be clear: I could do that once the system had been installed and I was using YaST with a full graphical interface.

But I had to click on the right bottom of te window. Clicking on ant other edge didn't allo the resize, which for itself is quites strange.
