Well, I needed to do something, because it was acting weird. The screen was stalling for a couple seconds at a time, every few seconds. It was too annoying to proceed.
Yes, I see that occasionally with KDE. But again, that is not Linux per se. I suspect KDE is not quite ready for prime time. :-) When this happens to me, I just CTRL/ALT/Fn to a plain terminal, init 3 (to kill the Xwindow mess) and then init 5 to restart it. Unless KDE is so screwed up that it has trashed to keyboard, this should work without rebooting.
This seems to happen after doing NIC setup in yast. Maybe I'll try it again to see if restarting the network helps.
I admit that Yast strikes me as slso a bit dodgy. But again, the rcnetwork restart and/or init 3 then 5 should bail you out. doug
