Description Alexander Schaefer 2005-09-01 12:34:47 UTC 
When installing SL 10.0 (occured with all previews and betas until now), the
installation speed suddenly decreases rapidly after about 80-90% of
installation. The cause seems to be a memory leak or something similar that
causes the system to use a total amount of about 750 MBytes(!). On the test
system (with 512 MB RAM), this leads to extensive swapping and thus slows down
installation rapidly.

I'll attach YaST2 logs and 'free' and 'ps -auxwwwwf' output as soon as
installation is complete. Is there anything else I should add?

Test system: FSC Amilo PRo 8010, Intel centrino 915 chipset, 512 MB RAM, Intel
Pentium M 1.73 Ghz, 60 GB SATA HDD.

This is very unusual. Please attach /var/log/YaST2/* and /var/lib/YaST2/* and 
we'll have a look.

I hope I attached everything necessary, please take a look - perhaps it also
helps to fix bug #67022...
