I have downloaded all of the files and folders for Suse from the ftp site for version 7.3 for i386 but obviously it is more than can fit on one CD or even four but I do not know what needs to go on what CD, if anyone can tell me or direct me to where I could find out, that would be nice.
usually the ftp site is to download via a ftp install. yeah, most of the time everything they have for download fits on several cd's or a dvd.. and usually its in a compressed format.
But it is not in a compressed format. Suse does not offer intel based systems version as an ISO file like they do for other version systems like SPARCS and others. Other Linux manufacturers offer the ISO downloads like Caldera and Mandrake but I think Suse is better according to what I've read. I can't say that from experience because I haven't tried any Linux but I want to try Linux but I first have to figure out how to put it on CDs.
