My problem is that I cannot connect to it from my local machine without knowing the public IP address of the router because the remote machine has a private IP address.
Whether or not you know the public address, you will also need to set up port forwarding on the router (i.e. forward port 22 to your remote machine.)
Yes, it has already been configured for a while.
Is it possible to find out the public IP address of the DSL router on the other side after starting the installation program from the CD?
The router probably supports that - maybe via telnet or a web-browser.
Yes, the router may support it, but the net installer doesn't contain any graphic browser to login to the router. One solution could be to use a LiveCD but in this case the owner who has never used any Linux environment needs to do a lot of configuration (to enable vnc in yast and config krfb) which could be very complicated for him. The net install would be more simple because in this case one needs to create only two grub options to enable remote installation via ssh and then to find out and forward public IP of the router to me.
