I forgot to mention in the previous message, that it takes about 2 hours
to do a install from their FTP server, with cable internet.  Your times
will vary based on your connection speed.  If you have dial-up, I would
forget about trying to do it over the internet, it would probably take a
day :(

I have Suse 8.2 and 9 running a few machines, its a very nice product.

And your right, there isn't a folder marked "Installation Tree".  What you
would want to do is copy all of the folders under .../pub/suse/i386/9.0 
Its about 7.3 gigs if you download all of the folders.  I skipped the
suse/src folder, it had holds the source files, I didn't need them, its
about 2.5 gigs in size.

The CDROM boot image is named boot.iso and its located in the boot folder.

Hope this helps ...
