[wplug] i need SuSE i386 isos

[Nate Sharadin]

SuSE is not available for download because it is illegal to distribute
copies of the ISOs for it. SuSE is one of the few commericial-only
distributions of linux. You can download the "trial" CD which is basically
just a cold boot of linux form the CD. Bear in mind, however that it will
not even read your hard drives, let alone install to them.
