Chris, I've done it by getting a boot iso image (it's not large) from the SuSE 
site (e.g ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.1 or use a mirror site) You can also 
get bootable floppy images from there. Boot up with either, after booting up 
you will be presented with a few options, I use manual installation . note 
you may have to load driver for your network card if you are not connected to 
the internet directly. There's something on the lines of where source of 
installation will be from, choose network/ftp. You'll need the ip address 
(I've got a note from the past, may work,  mirror site address   
212.219.56.152. and the directory as sites/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.1.
other ip address's 195.155.221.130
			     212.219.56.146
 I may have missed something in the above but it's on those lines,  I think 
you should be able to work it out from the above, plus I'm sure there is a 
howto via ftp install readme file in the above directory.
