I dont' know when they changed that, but you can now do a network install
from their FTP server (or one of the mirrors).  They have bootdisk images in
the "boot" dir - including an ISO for those without floppy drives (like me).
 You can also download the entire directory tree and mount it on your own
network and do a NFS or FTP install locally.  Still no ISO download for the
entire SuSE CD set (or single DVD) but that's not really an impediment
anymore (thankfully).
