They don't seem to be encrypted, but they're also not plain text.  So, some 
binary information, some text.

By adding those entries to /etc/hosts I talked about _before_ starting YaST.  
If you point the old host name to the new IP address, you should be able to 
delete it easily.  Then, take out the fake /etc/hosts entry and add the new 
installation source.  Or, if you used an IP address instead of a host name you 
could write an iptables firewall rule to reject any traffic to that IP address. 
 Then you won't have to wait for the network timeout.  Lots of ways to skin 
this cat.
