See the answer from Eberhart. I was wrong. I will include it in
makeSUSEdvd (That becomes more and more a makeSUSErepo. :-) )

He also stated that he wrote one disk the other times, so I asumed he had
a writer, but did not want to waste the CD's. In that case the boot.iso is
the best choice.
boot.iso should be (in my opinion) always be the second choice. The first
choice is actuallu buying the box. :-) I understand that that is not
always possible.

It is however a misconception that you need to have everything at your
home when you want to install an OS. For some OSses that is the case. For
the better OSses it is not and network instalation was there first. :-)
