Why there is not any ISO to download and store it in my CDs?

Because SUSE don't do that.

FTP has the advantage that you only have to download the bits you need - with an ISO you have to download everything, whether you want it or not. However, FTP also means you have to have net access on the machine you want to install on. It's swings and roundabouts, and no doubt the decision is made on commercial grounds (SUSE would rather you bought the CDs :-)

John Also, if your time is worth anything, you'll want to purchase the CDs. Take it from someone who tried roughly eight FTP installations & had six of them bomb part way through. Not worth it.
