I am using the mini boot iso that I downloaded from http://widehat.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/boot/boot.iso yesterday.

When downloading packages fails due to transient network burps, the installer should wait a few moments and try again.  Every error I saw I could work around by clicking Retry.  It made it necessary to babysit the installation much more than would otherwise be necessary.

Cf. bug 369531 resp. http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Failover, which
would solve this.

yeah, let's not track 8 different aspects of the same problem
