Myke,

If you'd have done a little Google-ing you would have found out that Suse
never offered 9.2 CD ISO images. They offered a DVD ISO image, and an ftp
installation option, as alternatives to buying a boxed set. Any ISO images
of the 9.2 CDs have been offered by an individual, as a bittorrent. As 9.2
is an older version, the torrents available are likely to be inoperable,
or very slow, as most people would choose to use their bandwidth to obtain
a more up to date version. If you really insist, the individual disks have
torrents here;

As others have pointed out, you can d/l the 9.2 DVD ISO image from an
official Suse mirror, (one has been suggested, there are many others) far
quicker than you can obtain the CD images from the available torrents,
even if they are still working. You won't even have to change disks during
any new installations, and you only need to keep track of, and protect, a
single disk. If you do damage it, you can d/l it again, as many times as
you want.

Do something. Upgrade, try the torrents, or d/l the 9.2 DVD image, but
quit whining like a 5 year old, because things aren't "exactly" as you
want them to be. Grow up!! Should I whine for the next three days, because
I haven't won a $50,000,000.00 lottery? That's "exactly" how I want things
to be. Oh, and I want my winnings to be tax free, too. (Unlike the OP, I'm
willing to accept alternatives; a numbered Swiss bank account with a
$5,000.00 deposit will do nicely, if any of the helpful a.o.l.suse posters
is willing to make that offer; either US, or CN, no problem.)

This is the best the internet has to offer, take it or leave it.
