To satisfy some obscure req I need a copy of Suse Linux 9.3 64 bit. I’m not sure if it even exists. Can anybody point me in the right direction ? I’ve tried calling Novell but they referred me here.

Not sure about availability but are you sure it won’t run a later version
What are you trying to archive ?

Don’t think you will find any mirrors that still carry that version.

Your best bet is probably trying to find a second hand media kit (computer bookstore or sites like ebay/amazon? ( don’t know your location, but here’s a recent hit : eBay.be: Novell Suse Linux 9.3 Betriebssystem (object 110294736205 eindtijd 03-okt-08 18:19:08 CEST) )

Good luck!

I would check Novell’s ftp site. They seem to have every version somewhere.

SUSE Linux Professional: ftp.suse.com: International Mirrors

I found some 9.3 files here but it’s not an ISO so I’m not sure what to do with them personally. Maybe it will help you. Good luck.

Thanks for the quick responses everyone. I was able to obtain a copy last night.
