If we have special whishes, I am sure SuSE will help us.

Exactly. The only difference is, that the environment is saved on a 
Windows partition, when you whish. This means, that once you have 
configured the environment (network, preferences, even passwords), it is 
saved on the windows partition and when you restart the CDROM this 
environment is read and ready to run on startup.

P.S.: If youhave problems downloading a CDROM, I am able to send you a 
copy, if you send me your snail mail address.
