Hi,

first, you are allowed to use a copy of the SuSE CDs. Second, you can do
an FTP install straight from their web site. This give you the additional
benefit that you do not even have to think about the DVD / CDs when you
want to add an rpm, it is just fetched from the web-site including all
other needed rpms.

Of course, they do not allow ISOs to boost their sales, but I like that
much better than not providing the "cheap" products at all.

The hurdle of getting a free SusE is _very_ low, if you can't jump that
high, you might be bettere of with the printed manual anyway ;-)

Cheers
