Can't speak for suse, but typically you just press enter to boot the kernel and start the install program. Seems to me suse would use the gui by default...

when i launched form cd, i saw graphic interface to install packets and format hdd. then my pc reboots and now i see only green window.

What version did you install? Personal or pro?
Tipically, suse boots to a graphical environment. If you installed everything correctly, you should boot to kde, by default.
Can you see a prompt in the end of the boot process?

i don't changed any function in instaling. but then file copying was finished, i saw :
"these packets returns erorr:"
and there were about 10 packets. and that's all.
then my pc reboots i saw:
linux
windwos
safe
etc
i selected linux. then i saw suse logo and green window with comand line.

Did you check the md5sum of these iso files you downloaded? They are meant to be a test for the integrity of the files in the install media.
