This is interesting, thanks.

Does anyone know which directory and the actual filename of the iso to
DL from the above link?

Perhaps one might look in either/or of the directories dated (on) 1/8/2005 ?

The directory ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.2/iso/ :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have the choice:

1) If you have a DVD burner, you can download the file
SUSE-Linux-9.2-FTP-DVD.iso (the file's exact size is 3363543040 Bytes!)
and burn it on a DVD to boot and install from it, just like you would
do with a DVD from a SUSE Linux 9.2 box edition.

2) If you have a CDR/RW burner, you may want to download the file
SUSE-Linux-9.2-mini-installation.iso (size: exactly 67336192 bytes),
burn it on a CD and boot from it to start the installation of the SUSE
Linux 9.2 FTP version. The advantage over option 1) is clear: You only
download the packages that you need: From the total of 3GB of the
DVD image you might only need 1GB for your desired selection of
packages to install.

Also, consult the README file in the 9.2/boot directory (same level as this
"iso" directory).

Please verify the integrity of the downloaded file(s) using the md5sum
command.

ab648822abbd89906adb66f7cddd6bc2 SUSE-Linux-9.2-FTP-DVD.iso

Thanks,

Yes, and it's also better to download from a mirror. Check this site
to find the mirror with the fastest connection:

I checked some mirrors and in all cases you needed to go to the
directory /i386/9.2/iso/
