because of SuSE's silly dual-layer DVDs. The webserver's a tiny 1U rackmount, and has a laptop DVD drive in it. Of course, it's one of the ones that won't read DL discs.
ie. it is broken.
Blaming SuSE for having faulty hardware doesn't seem that sensible to me.

The hardware isn't faulty - Distributing Linux on a media set that requires brand new hardware is a little bit of a flakey idea, in my opinion. Is there really any huge reason to not have a 32-bit DVD and a 64-bit DVD like 99% of the other major distros? All it is, IMO is an inconvenience.
