Thanks for your tips. But I don't understand why coping the distribution
media to the server's hard disks would enable me to use yast2 remotely with
ssh? Actually I can launch yast2 remotely now. After connecting to the
remote server by ssh and then typing "yast2", a yast interface will appear
within my shell. But I can't seem to control the yast2 panel, as most of
the hot keys and arrows on the yast control panal are not working anymore,
i.e., I can't navigate through the yast control panel with my local
keyboard. It just got "stuck" there in my shell. I can't even quit the yast
interface. My local machine is a mac, I don't know if that's the problem.

I'm trying to install R 2.3.0 under Suse 10.0. As I'm using SSH
to login into the SUSE server, I can't use YAST2,
I presume this is because you cannot remotely mount the CD's or
DVD's? The next time you visit your server, if possible, copy your
distribution media to your hard disks, you'll find out that this is
really a useful thing to do. You can later use YaST2 to install
from the copies you made, even remotely. There is no problem using
YaST2 over SSH, either in graphical mode (if you used `ssh -X') or
in text mode.
In my experience, R 2.3.0 installs painlessly under SuSE 10.0, and
needs nothing which is not already available on the distribution
media. Should I say, I'm still impressed (even astonished) that R
installation succeeds so easily, given the size and complexity of
the distribution.
