I have successfully installed 10.0!! I bought 5 new CD-RWs and burned them
directly with cdrecord using a slight variation of the cdrecord command from
Damian's response. It worked the first time. I think the -pad option is the
key. To increase my confusion, though, 10.0 doesn't seem to do a media check
::shrug::
I have other questions. After over 3 years of using almost nothing but
Redhat, I guess I'm a noob again :) I'll figure it out :)
Thanks for the replies

Don't bother with CD burning; mount the ISOs on your local server and

install from there. You will need a boot image CD, which does need burning, unless you have a floppy drive etc.
I started to try the disc-less installation method from the link posted by houghi. I'm sure it would've worked okay, but there were some prerequisites for the makeSUSEdvd script which I didn't have and I didn't take the time to track down all of them. I understand that I may have been able to mount the ISOs via a loop device and install straight from them using the Manual installation, but I went with the method that was most familiar to me. Not everybody has a server. What I do is a discless instalation :
I sort of have a server on my small home network which consists of my server and my wife's Windoze laptop. I was trying to do the install on the server, though :) Also mounting the CD's is not really needed. Just use `makeSUSEdvd -i -s
/dir/to/go` and it puts itself in e.g. /srv/www/htdocs/suse/10.0 and you will be able to use it to install of http.
