While I can't speak for SuSe, I know Mandrake and Fedora are perfectly
usable with only one install CD. Obviously you can't install
everything, but the "commonest" stuff is on the first disc.
I prefer using full install CDs to NetInstalls (uneless I create a local
mirror, anyway) because then I don't need anything else to get a system
up and running. The internet is not reliable.
