this thread was previously posted in appropriately in the How-To/FAQ area and has been moved to Install/Boot/Login.

-=thanks=- for your interest in openSUSE and Linux!

sorry, your question is not clear to me…try again please…

are you asking, is the openSUSE released at software.opensuse.org for
the x86 processor only? if so, the answer is yes…

if you are actually asking about SUSE Linux Enterprise software, you
need to go to forums.novell.com and ask, because THERE you can have
software for home x86 machine and many up to IBM mainframes…

if you have an x86 and are asking how to install openSUSE, see here:

back up your data before you began
get your install image from http://software.opensuse.org/112/en ?
check the md5sum of the downloaded iso?
do this http://tinyurl.com/yajm2aq before install attempt?

see the following cites before you either download or attempt to burn
a CD/DVD:
http://en.opensuse.org/Download_Help

or, do you need install media mailed to you? if so there are boxed
sets of 11.2 available from a link on the software page, plus there
are many places on the web where you can get install disks for
whatever hardware you have…
