install SUSE 10 from HDD partition

hi to all out here
im new to SUSE. I just downloaded the DVD ISO for SUSE 10 but the prob is that i at the moment dont have a DVD writer myself.
I was thinking is a miinimalist bootable cD image available so that i can boot the system from it, prepare the system & then point the Setup to a hdd partition where the Files/ISO resides.

Floppy is not an option as i do not have an FDD in my laptop

Thx

If you have SUSE installed on another machine YAST can be setup as an installation server and install from the ISO. It's detailed in the first chapter of the Reference Manual which you can download from the Novell site.
