Chuck, What operating system is your FTP server running? If the answer is anything with MS in it, that's not going to work with the SuSE installer. You can either do as Patrick Mullen suggested (which requires a lot of available DASD that you might not have) or temporarily boot a PC with a CDROM with Linux (easier to do than you might think) to serve up the CD images.
