I have done several installs of SuSE 7.0 on an Ultra/10. Occasionally,
on the second or subsequent CD, the install process seems to get stuck
at some package or other. The CD-ROM drive light comes on solid and
nothing else happens. Restarting the installation from scratch usually
solves the problem. Is there a problem with the CD drive? Is it the
CD driver being used by YaST? I also notice that if I do not have the
drive fully spinning before allowing installation to proceed then the
probability of getting stuck is higher.
