I'm downloading the 5 CDs now, already downloaded the DVD for 10.1,

cant check whats being written to cd/dvd,
luckily the second machine has a cdr drive, I can use cds but not
dvd's.

When i installed 10.1, i first tried CD and got a mysterious "software package missing" wherewhere during the install (with no hint as to what was missing). i burned the DVD (also with k3b) and it worked fine. Before going through the pain of CDs, check the md5 of your DVD image - it might be bad. Good luck...

OK Stephan, K3B said the md5 checksum was OK, but the DVD was not an iso image,
I tried the inet boot image but I dont have an ip address for a Suse install server, if there is one.

Does that look correct ?
Unfortunately the other machine hasn't a dvd burner, but I did backup that iso image on the other machine, but
I don't know how to make the other machine look like a mounted drive, especially my /mnt directory has disappeared after an on line update.
There are "features" on MDV 2007n which should not be there at one month before release :(
