If you're ever looking for an ISO image, check linuxiso.org:
There are sparc SuSE images here:
http://www.linuxiso.org/suse.html
And you can get the S390 SuSE images here:
http://source.rfc822.org/pub/mirror/s390-ibm-linux/SuSE-s390/suse-us-s390/
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/suse/suse/s390/suse-us-s390/
Warning: none of these ISOs will boot on your PCs directly. These were
designed to run on other machine architectures, not Intel ia32 (x86).
The entire bit about SuSE not releasing a Intel image really disturbs me
on a personal level.
You can always install SuSE from an FTP site using yast. If you're
really serious about burning your own i386 bootable CDROM, you just need
mkisofs and the el-torito option to boot to the floppy image. This
really isn't rocket science.
I'm suprised noone has made an independant SuSE ISO image set for Intel.
And, yes, I have been purposefully avoiding all of the press about SuSE
not distributing the Intel media freely. It sickened me the first time I
saw it.
