Very Computer

Hi all, I've posted a previous one but somehow it didn't show up in this
newsgroup. So here it goes again. My problem is that I installed
S.u.S.E. apparently without any problems. However, each time I boot up,
a message appears saying that the installation hasn't finished yet, then
yast starts up, looks in the CDROM drive for the installation disk, but
it doesn't install anything. Then it prompts for me to enter OK. Only
that can I login.

Thanks for your help

Linux is running several scripts in the background after the first
installation. If you turn off your computer before these scripts have
finished, YasT will restart them the next time and try to complete his
work. If you take a look on console 9 [Alt-F9], you can see, if the
scripts have finished. There must be a message like "Have a lot of fun!
Your S.u.S.E Team"
The whole thing may take a while, but after this, YasT should no more
start automatically.

Have fun with Linux

This happens, if for some rason the install has left some temporary files
behind.

Did you perhaps "ctrl C" outof the install and start over?

The only advise I can give you, is to delete everything and start over.
There might be other, better ways to fix it, but I don't know of any.
Perhaps deleting everything in /tmp and /var/lock might help?
You might also try to email their support. They are usualy very quick
with responses and very helpful too.

Regards,
Friedhelm

What Thomas says is _exactly_ what I experienced, too.  The first few
times I rebooted, it kept restarting yast to complete the installation.
I was rebooting frequently to set up and test networking files, etc.
When I finally let the machine run awhile, the scripts completed,
and mailed a message to root about that.  By the way, run top when
you boot, and you should see processes running that were started by
the install script.

Thanks all again, the quoted messages below solved my problem.
