[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
