I encountered this error twice now.
Initial install of 7x via netinst.iso works. Then, I log in remotely to run yum
update. Update proceeds but during cleanup, yum hangs. Apparently cleaning up
initial-setup.
I need some instructions on how to debug this problem.
Thanks.

Thank You !!
One of the commercial / industrial users.
We have been using SL since 4.2 and had great sucess with it.
On of my displasures is having to use Windows 10. and then I escape
back to SL linux.
The thing I miss in 6. 7.2 is the ability to use KDE.
Good luck in your retirement. I was retired for one afternoon for 4
hours 20 years ago.
Again -
Thank You

Farewell Connie!
SL has changed the world. A bit. Quite a bit.
Things like SL often seem to be "just happening", or be "natural" or "by =
chance", in hindsight. They aren't. There's always someone behind them =
actually making them happen. Success is not an accident. Thanks a lot =
for making SL happen and be the success it is!
I'll certainly miss those "truly concise" mails on the lists, and more.
But I'm also positive that the now current SL team will keep up the =
great work.
All the best,
Stephan

I solved my problem by doing the install "interactively" and updating
initial-setup separately.
I must have missed something thinking I could do an install, reboot, remote
login, and update.

It allows applications to access the low portions of the kernel memory
space.
Personally, I can't think of a good reason to allow that. Maybe someone
else can?
I know I would need a good reason to enable it.
