FTP Install, help needed.


Since 3 attempts at downloading the 3 gig dvd failed I am now installing Suse via the FTP method. It's been 24 hours since starting and it's still running the install.
I need some advice on the following :-
YaST is still installing packages, it's just failed on jonas-4.1.2-3.1.noarch so I clicked 'retry' and it's been stuck on 2% for the last 30 mins. If I click the 'Abort' button on the install screen will that abort the whole install or just the .noarch package (whatever .noarch is?). I'd hate to start all over again.

Many thank

It will probably abort the whole install. I would download all of the necessary files first via FTP, create a CD/DVD with those files on it and then install from that.
