    Ok, here's what I did:

    1. Mounted the ISO
    2. Copied the contents into regular subdirectories.

    Same result.

    "Cannot mount the specified partition".

    At this point, I have to ask the question:

    Is Novell trying to make us all buy DVD burners?

    Because so far, that's the only way to install this "free" 9.2 upgrade with a
    DSL connection...
