I have downloaded suse iso files and I wanna install it without write cd. I

Can I install it without burn a cd?!
1.
mount -rtiso9660 -oloop SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-RC1-CD1.iso /mnt/
cp /mnt/boot/loader/initrd /boot/inst-initrd
cp /mnt/boot/loader/linux /boot/inst-linux
umount /mnt/
2. Add a new boot target "install" to your grub or lilo configuration
using image=/boot/inst-linux and initrd=/boot/inst-initrd.
This will boot "like from CD".
You will need the installation source tree then on a partition or over the
net.
To build the installation source tree, you can do this:
mkdir /xxx//suse10-rc1/ # somewhere, but not within those partitions
where
# you want to install
for i in 1 2 3 4 5
do
mount -oloop -rtiso9660 SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-RC1-CD$i.iso /mnt/
cp -a /mnt/ /xxx/suse10-rc1/CD$i
umount /mnt
done
Then /xxx would be your "installation partition (you have to give the
corresponding /dev/hd.. or /dev/sd.. name instead), and suse10-rc1/CD1
would be the path to enter as the installation source.
