Yeah, I've tried that.  I always run with the IP right now and it's
dying WAY before 60 seconds.  I've got a 144Kbps connection to the net
so it isn't that.  I'll start installing packages and then it'll just
decide to give up on a bunch and I have to go give them a try again.

Besides that and the updates not getting installed automatically, which
RedHat doesn't do either, SuSE's great.  YaST is really nice for
configuring things.
