Free SuSE Downloads

nah, don't have to download it all for each install. just download the rpms once. then set up an ftp or nfs server with all the rpms being shared, then in the installer askes for the media, tell it either ftp or nfs, i don't know if suse supports nfs but it should. that way you don't have to download the rpms  from the web each time. you just pull them of your local network. for an idea on how this sortov works, read my thread on the warped slakware install, it should give an idea of the process of setting up nfs, if you don't already know how, instead of nfs'ing a loopback mounted iso image, youll just be sharing a mirror of the rpms,and maybe a few other things. wouldn''t be that hard to do. i hoped that this answered any questions

TheQuirk:
SuSe lets other people make ISOs and make them public, so other people could download the ISOs.

But OpenBSD doesn't.

voidmain:
Where can the SuSe x86 ISOs be had?

TheQuirk:
no one's crazy enough to host them  -- not enough bandwidth. Some guy over at the linuxiso.org forums was looking for hosting to host the ISOs, though, so I guess that's a start...

voidmain:
I don't understand that since there are plenty of people willing to host the download of RedHat which is downloaded much more. I got the feeling this was a decision by SuSe from everything I've read. I mean SuSe doesn't even offer an x86 ISO download from their own site which tells me they do not want to make it easy on people not wanting to purchase the box set.  Nothing wrong with that, but I'm one less customer they will ever have.  They offer the "Live Preview" ISO, they could just as well offer the real thing.
