You need to do a FTP install using boot disks or buy it.

They're on the same FTP server as the live eval. iso. It might not have drivers for your nic, it didn't for mine (Netgear FA311)

I bought SuSE 7.3, and I really like it. You would be as well buying a distro, and the SUSE 7.3 pro w/out manuals (the UPDATE) is £35UK. You get 7CDS and a DVD.

I also bought Suse 7.3. To see if it's a bad download, you need to do a MD5 checksum. See here:

penguinfreak, sfa ok, or touser. Does SuSE 7.2 install the 2.4.x kernel by default? I'd sure like to know, thanks!
