Re: Where are the SuSE 9.2 Professional CD ISOs?

Download the 10.0 series and be a happy camper. ;-)

I expected this from you. I've already downloaded the 5 CD ISOs for 10.0 but I'm not about to do an upgrade on my only Linux PC because I'm right in the middle of a bunch of work with it and I've been reading about all the problems people have been having after "upgrading" from 9.2 and 9.3 to 10.0..

When I am in a position to do a clean install to 10.0 I will. Hopefully by then it'll be 10.1 or 10.2 instead.

Otherwise do a minimal installalation 

I already have a maximal installation that works well.

and then add some installation sources to your YaST.

And this will give me back the 2 CDs I used to install 9.2 on my and my mother's PCs?

Also, I'm very new to YaST. I wouldn't know what installation sources to add to it - if you're talking internet sources, that is. I don't know any.

If you have a DVD player, ask for a copy of the DVD (or the DVD itself)

I have a DVD burner, not a "player", and I can download the DVD ISO - but the only ones I see are called "EvalDVD". I would much prefer a single DVD version over 5 CDs but I want the real thing, not an "evaluation" copy. Are they misnamed? Are they "evaluating" the efficacy of distributing SuSE Linux on a DVD? What does "EvalDVD" really mean?

And *NONE* of this addresses my primary concern to simply restore the 2 damaged discs in my original 9.2 collection.
