Are you installing from the DVD ISO or the LiveCD?  If from the DVD
ISO, this is "normal" because it seems that no one involved in the DVD
builds thinks that making the DVD ISO a hybrid (like the LiveCDs) is a
good idea.  Not sure why... there was a discussion about this on the
mailing list, and an openFATE https://features.opensuse.org/310123
that was opened and closed as complete (although the "solution was
about Kiwi which had nothing to do with the original openFATE).

This is an annoyance - not a major issue - when you install from the
DVD ISO from USB, it fails during the GUI install and drops to text
mode.  You have to select "Back" to return to the beginning of the
install.  When you restart the install, you have to select to install
from a hard drive, select the USB stick, and then tell it to install
from the root of the USB stick.  The install will continue at this
point and should complete normally.
