If you have copied your DVD to elsewhere, just add "elsewhere" as installation 
source. I don't have 10.2 yet, but in 10.1 it worked like that. And it's not 
related to XEN, do you agree?

Calm down: So far, you have not told us what problem you are having exactly.
Starting to insult people here does not help you. I'm sure a lot of people will 
discuss your problems in-depth for 150 Euro per hour if you prefer a 
professional 
service. ;-)

But you don't expect us to prepare you, do you?

AFAIK it's a WIKI. Just put your comments there (discussion page, e.g.)

Then use https://bugzilla.novell.com and tell them, not us.
