Thanks to all for comments and suggestions. Here is my status:
I am sure I made a mistake in trying to run cdrecord. I don't think I changed the 'isofile' in the command [under How to burn a DVD under Linux] to the actual file name. So cdrecord is probably OK. Sorry.
digikam 5.6 needs additional rpms (no surprise, of course) but I am not in the mood to go that way.
The document "How to create a bootable USB stick under Linux" is rather awkward and scary for those who are not experienced with it.
I'm somewhat familiar with creating the USB from the NET iso - ISTR it being simply a 'dd' ?
dd, cat, echo, cp... anything works. dd has the advantage of adjusting the parameters and getting more speed. Plus some GUI tools that facilitate finding the external device (not failure safe, though). Joseph, if you are finding instructions on "How to create a bootable USB stick under Linux" on Google, discard them! They are destructive with openSUSE images. Use only instructions found on the official openSUSE site: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
