You may copy the contents of all the CDs into a directory and regenerate an
ISO to burn to a DVD.

First of all, install the package "autoyast2". If there are directories whose
name is "media.2 ", " media.3" and so on, remove them and leave only "media.1".
Now edit media.1/media and change "4" to "1" in the third line. This means
the number of CDs or DVDs you're going to have, and since you're going to
burn it to one DVD you have to put "1".

Now "cd" to where you've copied all the CDs and run:

create_package_descr -x setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV -l english -l spanish -l french
-l german -l czech -l hungarian -l italian

This will regenerate the package description files, making YaST know where the
files are. Make sure everything inside the "boot" directory has write
permissions. Then generate the iso:

mkisofs -v -V SU100OSS.001 -r -J -l -L -P "SuSE Linux AG" -b
"boot/loader/isolinux.bin" -c "boot/loader/boot.cat" -no-emul-boot
-boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -graft-points -o
~/openSuSE-10.0-beta1-DVD.iso .

Open K3b and burn it. :)
