Suse does not distribute their iso images for download over the net. If you were planning on downloading anyway, you can go ahead with their ftp install, which is quite easy and friendly. You can get to it at their web site.

Yes, that is true. But if you want to do a FTP install just download rawwrite.exe and the boot.flp, and mfsroot.flp files and then use rawwrite to copy the files onto two blank formatted floppy disks. I found that by not formatting i get bad blocks.

Oh and by the way this is assuming you are using Windows, if you use linux then their's a command from the console you can issue.

Some SuSE servers are extremely slow at times. It doesnt matter becuase you will only be downloading about 4 MB total.
