However, from personal experience, when I had low bandwidth (1Mbps) I preferred to use this install method. Why? Because I could download the DVD slowly, even if it took a week, then install a lot of software in several computers without using Internet at all during the install.
There used to be "boxed" version of openSUSE. I know because the very first version I had was in this format. it came with the --at that time CDs set, printed installation instructions and other documentation. Is that format still available? I've also seen other services that will burn and ship a distribution DVD for you. Do the still exist? It would certainly be an alternative to downloading, even over a low bandwidth link. A greater latency perhaps. Mind you. even the long time leap-Updates repository takes to sync on my cable links, I wonder about how those with a lesser bandwidth deal with updates. -- Wisdom is earned through bitter experience.
