I just did a fresh install on a box of SUSE 9.3 Professional, and when I

Any suggestions?

Actually it sometimes freezes and sometimes works. Here is how I work
around it.

I updated system via Yast without installing M$ Fonts. Next step, I
installed Iptraf and run it. So I can monitor all network connections in
real time. I simply picked up the all interfaces option. So I can monitor
all.

Last step is installing fonts. I run Yast and checked the M$ fonts. It
downloads a shell script to install fonts. You will see the progess is %99.
Actually it is not, script is running and installing fonts. It takes time

I waited for the script to finish. All fonts are installed. If you are not
sure about the process, simply use up and down arrows on Iptraf, so you can
see the transfer.

p.s: Iptraf runs on console. Become root and type iptraf.

Thanks for the replys. I'll give it another shot. and I'm pretty good with
iptraf so I'll load that up and have it monitor the connection while it does
it's magic. I wasn't aware of where it downloaded the script from so I'll do
that.

Thanks all,

-Allen
