You didn't just burn the iso file to disc did you?

I tried extracting to the disk...I tried burning as a data disk, I tried direct burning...what am I missing, am using ummmmmmmmm....hang on...oh CD Creator 4

Doctor V:
Once you have the iso image file(s?) downloaded, you should burn them to a CD.  Your cd writing application, be it east CD creator or whatnot, should have an option for [create disk from image file] or something similar to that.  This is what you need to select.  Using that option, burn the iso file to disk.

Now you have a proper CD.  If you can boot from CDs (most cpmputers nowadays can), pop the CD in, boot from it, the Suse installer shoudl start up, follow the directions.

lol...these are the directions i followed

Using Easy CD Creator


From the menu, click on File.
Select Create CD From Disc Image from the drop down menu.
On the CD creation Setup window, click the Advanced Button, then choose Disk at Once. If you use Track at once, you'll get an unusable CD.
From the File Selection window, change File Type to ISO Image Files.
Double click on the .iso file to be burned.
Click on the Burn CD icon on the File Menu.
