Please read the README_eval.txt, in the ISO directory on the mirrors.
Did you even bother to actually check ftp.suse.com or the mirrors. There is NO DVD iso available. The ONLY iso's available are the 5 cd set and the 64 bit network install iso. Also the eval DVD iso is there, although it is only 184M which will fit on a standard CD instead of a DVD.

As you can see there is NO install DVD for 64 bit. Perhaps someone at SuSE forgot to add the file.
In another note, I posted a link to a mirror that contains what I described.
Yes as you can see the "eval" iso is there, but the OP was looking for a 64 bit install DVD iso which IS missing. Quoted from the "eval-DVD" text file * When delivered on 5 CD ISOs, SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3 requires 5 separate downloads of 650MB each, 3.3GB in total) * When delivered on a single DVD ISO, SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3 required one download of 4.5 GB Where is the 4.5 GB file that is supposed to be used as a 64 bit -install- DVD? No where, it is missing. The text file even quotes estimated download times for the iso's. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
