[ale] Hung FTP install

I was trying to get an FTP install of SuSE 7.3 done and Yast1 hung when
my ISP switched dynamic IPs late at night. Usually mindspring/earthlink
does maintenance around 3am and my DSL goes up and down until they are
done. I was using the direct SuSE ftp site which probably was a mistake
instead of using gatech. But anyway, to the problem:
I spent a couple of hours selecting packages inside of Yast. I don't
want to repeat that process but I need to somehow restart the Yast
governed download. Does anyone know how to restart Yast using a config
file? Can I find the current package selection buried somewhere in
/var/adm or somewhere else? Then can I use that list to restart Yast
and point it to gatech? I've left the machine sitting there stalled
hoping that I could get this figured out before just rebooting and
starting from scratch since I am more than halfway thru the download.
Thanks a bunch in advance,
Dow
