Please send some answers to these questions: 1- What's "SuSE" pronunciation? 2- What does "SuSE" mean? 3- Why is a chameleon as the logo of company? 4- How does that reptile relate to the word "SuSE"? 5- Why "SuSE" induces a female person in my mind? 6- This is the main query: I want to install SuSE 9.1 without CD-DRIVE (only with iso images): 6-a- I made ISO images of 5 installation CDs by "WinISO", 6-b- I made 3 boot floppies from inside the 1st CD, 6-c- I booted these floppies and selected "Manual Installation" and "Hard Disk", 6-d- I selected the partition containing images, 6-e- The installation can not continue and returns me to partition selection!
Must the ISO images have a special file-name? How can I verify that my images are valid?
Note1: The partition containing images has a FAT32 format. Note2: I have achieved this type of installation easily in RedHat. Note3: In RedHat, you don't need to make floppy disks; It has an installation utility able to run directly from hard-disk under DOS.

1- What's "SuSE" pronunciation?
Most people pronounce it as "Soo-za" (which is how you would pronounce it if it was an actual word in German). Interestingly, if you were to call the U.S. San Francisco SuSE office, the recording on the phone incorrectly pronounces it as "Soo-zay".
2- What does "SuSE" mean?
"Gesellschaft fur Software- und Systementwicklung mbH", which is roughly translated as "Company for Software- and System-Development". The word "Systementwicklung" is actually a compound word, so the "entwicklung" became part of the abbreviation. "Gesellschaft" and "mbh" is usually abbreviated together for German companies as "Gmbh" at the end, so that makes "S.u.S.E Gmbh". In October 1998, the official name has been changed from "S.u.S.E." to "SuSE" (without the dots). It would seem that nowaways some people (including SuSE themselves) use an all-caps spelling of "SUSE".
3- Why is a chameleon as the logo of company? 4- How does that reptile relate to the word "SuSE"?
I have no idea. Although at the LinuxWorld Expo, the SuSE people referred to their mascot as a "gecko". I have collected two stuffed animal SuSE geckos, one bigger one from last year and a smaller one from this year.
5- Why "SuSE" induces a female person in my mind?
Maybe it sounds like "Suzie" to you? :) -Ti

You would do better to copy the *contents* of the cds to that partition, making sure to duplicate the directory structure Dylan -- "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine" -Dark Helmet

The logo was a Chamelon for a long time, and was named "Geeko" a few years back by some users who voted for the stupidest name possible.

You can't do it (easily) with disk images. What you want to do is copy the first disk to a folder and then copy the contents of the "suse" folder from the other disks into that folder's "suse" folder.
Note1: The partition containing images has a FAT32 format.
This is fine.
Note2: I have achieved this type of installation easily in RedHat.
Great. Redhat is dead, as far as personal users are concerned, and SuSE can also be installed from hard drive pretty easily.
Note3: In RedHat, you don't need to make floppy disks; It has an installation utility able to run directly from hard-disk under DOS.
There's a bootable CD image in the boot/ folder if a floppy is a problem. Make a cd from boot.iso and have fun. There used to be a DOS install.exe program on the SuSE disks, too, but I guess maybe it's gone or something. --Danny
