Is there a way to convert the opensuse install disk to an iso? I don’t have the iso file any longer, and would like to try and make a flash stick that can be used to install onto a mini itx machine - which has no optical drive.

Yes.
If the DVD is in “/dev/dvd” (no need to mount it), do:
dd if=/dev/dvd of=dvdimage.iso
That’s all 
Then if you want to create an usb stick, if the stick is in “/dev/sdc”,
do - make sure the stick is not mounted:
dd if=dvdimage.iso of=/dev/sdc
That will work for versions 12.2 and 12.3. For previous versions there
is an extra step that you can read about in the wiki for download and
burn help.
