Sujeet,
Do you have dual layered DVDs? SuSE DVD's are 7.x GB. Normal DVD's will not work. Hope I am not late to give you some bad news.

Hi Amish,
This particular dvd appears to be 3.x GB. It's on one of the official Suse mirrors - I think it is the 32-bit only version. In any case, I am planning to mount the iso as a loopback device on a spare partition and do a hard disc install. Here's the current status:
