A while back I was downloading the EVAL DVD ISO. The size and date changed twice on the ftp.suse.com site. It was different on different US mirrors at the same time. Could it be the iso has been getting changed by whomever uploads to the mirrors. The LIVE iso also was broken on 2 of three downloads. I believe that someone was making mischief or fixing bugs or something.

Did you even bother to actually check ftp.suse.com or the mirrors. There is NO DVD iso available. The ONLY iso's available are the 5 cd set and the 64 bit network install iso. Also the eval DVD iso is there, although it is only 184M which will fit on a standard CD instead of a DVD.

As you can see there is NO install DVD for 64 bit. Perhaps someone at SuSE forgot to add the file.
In another note, I posted a link to a mirror that contains what I described.
Yes as you can see the "eval" iso is there, but the OP was looking for a 64 bit install DVD iso which IS missing. Quoted from the "eval-DVD" text file
* When delivered on 5 CD ISOs, SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3 requires 5 separate downloads of 650MB each, 3.3GB in total) * When delivered on a single DVD ISO, SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3 required one download of 4.5 GB
Where is the 4.5 GB file that is supposed to be used as a 64 bit -install- DVD? No where, it is missing. The text file even quotes estimated download times for the iso's.
Others have also replied to your posts. One thing that's obvious, is that you're apparently the only one who can't see that 4.2 GB ISO.
