Description Larry Mahoney 2008-10-17 16:40:22 UTC 
During software updates, "OpenSUSE Updates" repository is often overloaded. Yast cannot contact a server for some time and gives out an error. First it requires to press "Ok" in the time-out information window, then it shows a dialog "Retry, Abort, Ignore" and waits for user response. Download usually goes on after second try.
When installing for first time, you want to get all updates at once. Select 800 Mb of updates, leave computer for a night and go to sleep. 
In the morning, you find out it stuck at 5% due to "Updates" repo time-out and waits for response!
I suggest removing first information window with single button "ok", and set some counter on the second dialog. Let it wait for 5 seconds, then retry; do it 5 times for example and then select "ignore".
