This is an interesting turn of practice.  In the past, SuSE stopped putting ISO
images to generate the revenue from CD/DVD sales of the distro.  Now I see that
in fact, yes, there is SuSE 9.1 discs 1 to 5 listed there.  Does anyone know the
reasons behind the change in policy (aside Novell purchasing SuSE of course)?  I
admit I can speculate quite a bit, just wondering if there are any facts to this
sudden shift/change is all.

TIA.
