Not meaning to insult anyone, but it could be as simple
as inattention.
The default loader screen on the CD looks a lot like the
default loader screen of installed SUSE - that pretty
blue screen with four or five selections in the middle...
If you aren't paying attention, you could imagine you're
looking at the usual installed-SUSE startup selection
screen.
The default action of the screen from the CD is to
load from hard disk, so unless you are paying attention
and override that by selecting one of the other options,
the system loads the preliminaries from the CD (not your
hard disk), waits the few seconds for the timeout,
doesn't get a keypress or mouse-click from you, and
starts the default selection... which is your already
installed SUSE 10.
I've been wrong before.
