    Two solutions have been mentioned.

    1.) Copy DVD/CD to harddrive and install like ftp at work. (you can bring
    your computer into work and copy from network drive or install from work
    also)

    2.) If you going to spend $$, get a linksys router and configure it to use
    PPPoE & DHCP to connect your DSL, and never have to worry about this issue
    again with anything( e.g. Xbox, PS2, guest pc, wireless AP, appliances,
    etc.)

    There are many ways to get SuSE installed. It is the PPPoE issue that I see
    your having with the ftp install. I haven't used PPPoE before, so I'm no
    help there, except I KNOW that these routers can do it. (there is probably a
    way to do it with SuSE too, just don't know myself)

    B-)
