Hi David, about the disk layout and LVM, I also have struggled with that
and a numer of times got problems with to small sizes.
After a number of not so good sizes/layouts, I now use as below:

mdisk  mountpoint   cyls
200    /            500
201    /boot        200
202    swap vdisk   64mb
203    swap vdisk   64mb
204    swap disk    550 
205    system_vg    10000  (LVM, 6.87 GB)
206    /tmp         1500 cyls

system_vg/home_lv   /home   200 MB
system_vg/opt_lv    /opt    2.5 GB
system_vg/root_lv   /root    52 MB
system_vg/srv_lv    /srv    100 MB
system_vg/usr_lv    /usr   2.88 GB
system_vg/var_lv    /var   1.22 GB

Some other sources (install-dvds, was...)
is on readonly disks shared so all can link to them.

Now we can extend the disks needed without problem.
Be sure to use ext3 to be able to extend online while mounted.
And you can use /ext2 at least for /boot
maybe also for / ...
and definitly use ext2 for all disks shared and mounted read-only !

Mark, 

I had been trying to use the GUI, as that is what I've been using all along, with the \
command 'ssh -X ...@....'.  It had ben working fine, up until the reboot.  I'll try \
-Y. 

I also tried /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.ssh, but nothing ever came up to continue \
the install.

Are you trying to use the text mode installer via SSH, or the GUI?  If the text mode, \
then you should be executing /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.ssh to continue the \
install.  If that's what you're doing then try running "unset DISPLAY" before \
executing it.

If you're using the GUI, make sure that xorg-x11-xauth is one of the RPMs that gets \
installed.  If it is, try connecting to the system using "ssh -Y" which enables \
trusted X11 forwarding.
