Actually, you don't have to burn the images... just loop mount 'em (as
long as your kernel has support for doing this). So on any given
machine, do a:
mount -o loop suse-us-sparc-7.0-CD1.iso /mnt
to mount the first CD in /mnt...
If this doesn't work for you, you can grab the data via NFS (or SMB)
from linux01.gwdg.de ... lemme know if you need help with that.
