Description Forgotten User tc-RLH9z2U 2006-01-31 20:57:02 UTC

I used the http method to successfully update to 10.1 Beta2.

After installing more than 1100 rpms over a slow DSL link the connection was cut be the provider at 3:00 am. Only 4 packages have been missing and they 
did not get downloaded till 6:30 am even though the network connection was back to being operational for many hours.

The YaST installer does not provide any means to retry the downloading or to skip the missing 4 packages. The installer was showing the busy cursor endlessly even after clicking on the "Abbrechen" button.

The package manager implementation was changed after Beta2, thus won't care about this bugreport.

If you can reproduce the problem with final version, please, reopen the bug and attach the logs.
