For SuSE 9.2, you have your choice of shoveling five or six CD's into
the thing (which requires you to sit next to the machine for several
hours) - or putting in the DVD-ROM and getting on with your life while
it installs.  DVD drives are getting to be nearly as cheap as CD drives,
because in the end, they are almost identical in terms of components
and parts count.  It's just the natural evolution of the format.
