The internet test was OK, I was able to ping by name, but the repo refresh
failed.

It was also quite difficult to skip the refesh. Please take a look.

The failure message "Failed to establish connection, cause: Keine
Route zum Zielrechner' means no route to the destination host.

What is "unusual" in this installation is, that I've disabled the broken
adding of the hostname to /etc/hosts (WRITE_HOSTNAME_TO_HOSTS="no") and
update of the hostname via dhcp (DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME="no").

Network was fine, I was able to ping by hostname (google) and AFAIR also
to download.opensuse.org.

One problem is that the refresh failed for some reason -- this may be some
temporary problem with download.opensuse.org or some mirrors or maybe some
problem in zypp. It would make sense to review the logs to see what the
reason exactly was.

The main problem was, that I was unable to skip/abort it. Every time I've
hit the skip or abort button, it come up again and again without any end.
When I remember correctly, it was just the update run after installation,
so it is not required even when it fails.
It is generally an exhausting problem to abort any installation loop.

It didn't happen in later Milestones any more.
