The CD will install a basic (office, internet, a few games) set of
applications.

If you can put your computer on the same network, you only have to
arrange that SuSE forwards your request and returns your replies -
known as "IP Masquerade", "Firewall" or something.

You will need to allocate your computer an address - using DHCP or
static IP allocation, that is within the same 'net' as the SuSE box.

If it is the same computer with dual boot, you will have to move all
the connection details across.

If the computers are in different places (home/work) you will have
to download updates / new packages, and make sure you have enough
to resolve the dependencies.

Try to place the computers together.
