prob wid suse 10.2 installation

I guess the cd or the iso maybe corrupt. Check the md5sum or sha1sum.

how to check the md5sum??

when you boot into the dvd in the first screen itself at the bottom of the screen you will have the option to check the media.

Try burning that iso file at lower speed 1x-4x on dvd and please verify it.
alternatively i have a method
1. Install utorrent or any of the bit torrent client
2. download the torrent file from *www.torrentportal.com/details/824012/openSUSE-10.2-GM-DVD-i386-iso.torrent
3. rename your iso file to openSUSE-10.2-GM-DVD-i386.iso
4. Navigate utorrent to that file and start download, i mean set the download location of utorrent to the folder where you 've saved the iso file and start the download
5. your iso will be rectified

thx dear. i ll try as u said. by the way i burnt the dvd at 8x
