SuSE ftp downloads

So what's the deal? i thought SuSE was the one that you needed to buy because you couldn't get a free download? Am i talking through my arse?

choasforages:
i think what you have to pay for is the cdrom's. i think that the link you were pointing to invovles installing over a network. i just got done doing that with slackware. there probably is a way to download all the rpms' /*lest thats what i think suse uses for package management*/ and setup up your own nfs, smb, ftp, http server to install, at least you can do that with redhat. but the cdroms are easyer to install, one of my friends dad bought the cd's and thats what they use now. i have heard some good stuff about suse though

edit:
the live version is kinda like demolinux, it doenst' install it like runs off the cd

you can download SuSE for free, however, they don't offer ISO images for download. You can use the ftp version to install over a network which, in most cases, is pretty slow.....

Calum:
so, am i right in thinking that you must ftp in and download the entire system for every install? or can you download the stuff, then install it on several machines locally. Or create yr own SuSE CDs maybe? sorry, i know i risk sounding dumb but i have no real idea of how they expect it all to function...

Nobber:
What's never been clear to me is whether it would be OK (licence-wise) for anyone else to provide SuSE ISOs for download. SuSE themselves may not want to provide them, and that's fine, but is there anything stopping anyone else from doing it? (Apart from courtesy to SuSE, that is?)
