Live CD and USB Boot drive

Hello all,

I downloaded the openSUSE-42.1-DVD-x86_64.iso image and whether I burn it to a DVD or make a bootable USB drive, I only have the option to install openSUSE and not run it from either media. I downloaded from this page:
https://software.opensuse.org/421/en
Is there another version I should be using for the Live CD and/or running from a USB drive?
Thanks in advance.

Leap does not have an official live version though I believe that some people may have made some in the SUSE studio

Thanks much gogalthorp. Can you point me to a version that does have an official live version?

Some live versions that I know about:
Announcing Li-f-e 42.1
That’s the education release. I recommend using an 8G (or larger) USB for this. It fits on 4G, but is tight on space. It runs well from the live media, unless it doesn’t like your video card. And it installs and runs well after installing.

This is a series of builds done at suse studio. I tried one of those, though I did not try installing from it. They run well from the live media, and are around 1G in size so a 4G USB should be fine.
