Drew, who frequent's this list, has successfully downloaded a boot.iso 
which will permit you to do a network install of SuSE.  I've never done 
it.  I've got SuSE 8.1 personal, 8.1 pro and 8.2 pro.  I purchased the 
8.1 stuff at Compusa when they had a sale on them in the paper.  SuSE 
8.2 pro, I purchased online as an upgrade from SuSE.

I would not try a network install if you don't have broadband connectivity.

I've seen copies at Border's books and just this weekend at Microcenter. 
  I didn't price either though.  I think Best Buys carries it too, but 
I'd not bet a beer on that.
