hey guys.. a while back i stumbled apon a scrip that turned the suse9.3 cd's to 1 dvd.. it work GREAT .. i modified it abit for the 10 iso's i got from suses ftp.. and WAMOO! it seems to work.. i haven't used it to install yet.. not till i do a backup.. but it booted and all.. heres the modified script.. id give props to the orginal creator but i don't know who it is.. any how..
(i ran this as root because it does require mount capabilities)

# Now just burn the ISO to a DVD (hint: use 'growisofs' or your favorite GUI-frontend to 'growisofs'). Optionally, you can mount this ISO like you did #above to verify it will work correctly, or if you don't want to actually burn it. Just call:
#mkdir DVD
#mount SuSE_9.3.iso DVD -o loop
# Enjoy!
