Question suse 5cd on to a dvd


i am downloading Suse 9.3 Pro 5 cd set...
i want to put the 5 cd set on too a dvd cos i don't have 5 cdr and i don't want to waste 5 dvds...
do i extract the 5 iso files into a directory and burn the files on a dvd??
will it fit on a 4.7gb dvd or is it too big??
thanks all for your help...

why then didn't you download dvd image instead? Kills you the pain of switching CDs all the time

I downloaded DVD 9.3 Pro. I do not remember what mirror from but I definitely have it.
Check German mirrors and those mirrors that have reference (complete)

just an addendum:
You could use BitTornado too. Amule is also working decision

Good luck with it! You'll need it.... Make sure to include C/C++ compilers so you won't have any problems when installing softs that need compiling

"Slackare Linux remains one of the top 5 Linux distributions in use today. What is the reason for its tight hold on many users? Surely, in the absence of any convenient features found in other modern distributions, the only explanation is that Slackware holds supernatural powers - try it once and you will never be able to leave it again for any other distribution" - quote from Distrowatch

No,no! I really recommend SuSE. I love it veru much. What I meant was luck not to get hooked on it.
Because I'm addicted to Slackware and hooked on SuSE
Two great pieces of software
Use it. You'll love it too.

Of course you can install Slack (or any other distro) on the same hard drive, as long as you have free space. If not, you'll need to resize one of your existing partitions.
