I'm having the same problem as Mark. I downloaded the image directly from the 
openSUSE site, burned the image with K3b (onto three different CDs) with the 
intent of installing the beta on a portable HD. The CD booted properly, but 
when I clicked Installation, the screen came up, and some time later I got 
the "Make sure CD1 is in the drive" message. Clicking OK brought the message 
up again; clicking Back brought up the keyboard language dialog, then the 
install menu. Just for kicks, I tried the CD-check from the menu and it 
recognized the CD and pronounced it healthy. But the install would not 
proceed.

All thoughts appreciated.
