As you can see, each installation method has its own advantages and disadvantages,

Starting Your Installation
Inside your SUSE box you should find the SUSE manuals (which are considered
among the best Linux manuals available) and the media case.

The media case contains five CDs and two double-sided DVDs. One of the installa-
tion DVDs is installable, while the other contains the SUSE Linux source code. The
installable DVD has two sides, one used to install SUSE on standard Pentium-class
PCs, and the other containing an installable version of SUSE Linux for 64-bit systems.
Each side of the DVDs is labeled in extremely fine print around the center ring of
the DVD. Depending on the hardware in your computer system, installing from DVD
is the least time-consuming installation method.

Insert the first CD or the bootable DVD in your system’s optical drive. If you are
booting from DVD, make sure that the side that you want to boot from is facing up
in your DVD drive.

Next, enable booting from the optical media drive on your computer to start the
installation routine. During the bootup routine, you need to enter the BIOS and set
the order in which your system will probe attached devices looking for bootable
media. You can enter your system’s BIOS setup routines by pressing a special key
when booting the machine. Typically, this is the F2, Delete, or F1 key — check your
system’s boot screen for BIOS Setup instructions, which are usually displayed at
the bottom of the screen. When you’ve entered the BIOS setup screens, different
BIOS have different ways of configuring your system’s boot sequence. You may find
the options you are looking for under Startup Items, Boot Options, or under your
Advanced settings. Make sure that your CD or DVD drive is probed before your
floppy disk, hard drives, or network. Once set, save the new settings, and your
machine will reboot.
