Busybox is a marvelous tool for embedded devices. His place is more
in a tiny wireless router than in a mainframe!

Actually, you can go through the complete dialog for the install

comfortable) ssh session. You can even run "yast &" and begin the
GUI install, up through activating the disk devices. At that
point, switch back to your ssh session and perform the recovery
tasks necessary, as described in Dominic's post.
I'm sure I've seen documented wrt RHEL VNC and SSH installs.
Presumably
one can start additional xterms/connexions to diddle round in.
You can do as much of the install as you wish, up to the final "go and
do it." On IA32 installs, well before this there is a console terminal
available, these days running bash which is _way_ more comfortable
than
te shells used earlier; in vaious installs I've seen ash, dash,
sash (I
think) and busybox, and all suck.
