Thanks, I have my suse 9.2 successfully installed! Many thanks!
It seems files on UK ftp mirrors are not legible for direct ftp
installation. Any idea when suse 9.3 will be availabe for download? Rumors
are that from 9.2, there will be no more free download. can anyone verify
this?

The CDROM is on master. I can boot up via CDROM and it leads to
installation procedures. Everything works fine until Yast2 gets to the
software package selection. It took awful long time for my PC to
evaluate the package. Then "Cannot read package data from installation

Have you tried another FTP mirror?
I use the ftp.gwdg.de (134.76.11.100) and have no problems whatsoever.
One catch; You need to enter the IP NUMBER, not the FQDN in the server
box. By some obscure reason Yast doesn't use the DNS you enter in the
install.

Well.. At least the mirror i gave you seems to have it up.
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/9.3/
But i haven't verified the listing against a DVD or CD set..
But from what i can see, most is in there.. (Over 3600 files)
