Note that you need not download even the mini iso if your installation target already has a working grub. All you need is the linux and initrd from the appropriate boot/*/loader directory placed where a grub stanza can find it.
This is good to know, but lacks sufficient detail to be put to use. Could you either explain how to create or modify this "stanza" or point us to the relevant on-line documentation?
Assuming you understand how /boot/grub/menu.lst works, just copy any or all of the ones the installation CD uses from e.g. here http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/b... and adjust as necessary according to where you actually put linux and initrd. If your motherboard doesn't require any special parameters, the 1st should be plenty, and even if it isn't, you can modify on the fly with grub anyway. -- "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped."
