on the suse mirrors there is a minimal install iso that is bootable, and
will allow you to install over the network using a number of protocols 
(ftp,http,nfs, maybe samba? as indicated by my previous email)


here is a local copy:

http://linux.jetstreamgames.co.nz/suse/i386/9.2/iso/SUSE-Linux-9.2-mini-installation.iso

64MB

so you would 

1.set up the OS on the machine with the dvd drive
2. decide which protocol to use (ftp, nfs, http, etc)
3. set up the appropriate server to serve the contents of the mounted
dvd drive
4. boot the other machines with the mini-installation cd
5. when asked, point it at the dvd machine
