	The SuSE ISO is now a Live Filesystem Demo-disk.  They stopped
	making installable single ISOs.  (I'm not sure when the switch 
	happened- but the powers at be in development were debating 
	this change while I was still there.)

	I belive you can still FTP install the free 4-cd set.  If you
	go digging around on the web site instructions should be around.

	BTW:  If you have a friend with a purchased CD set, it is 
	considered "ok" by SuSE to install it on your machine.  The only
	catch is youare held by the honor system to not install anything
	from the 'pay' series of software as they have real licenses.
