I lost a box (would not reboot) using that method once.
Also, one time I forgot to delete the rpms  - and had disk limit problems for 
weeks (I was really really new) before remembering.

The best solution I found was, download an CD for SUSE and get a stable 
handsfree install *right* the first time. Sometimes my Redhat would install 
fully - but sometimes is not good enough. It'll probably all be better in 
RH8.1.
