Here's what I did.   Note:   I ran each of the ls commands below without the 
'rm' part first to check and see what would be deleted.



1) Copy entire DVD to HD     (to  <tmp>)
2) delete the suse/x86_64 directory
3) Create new X86_64 directory.

cd <tmp>/suse/i586

ls --color=never aspell-[a-z]*|grep -v -- -en-|grep -v devel|xargs rm
ls --color=never OpenOffice_org-[a-z]*|grep -v gnome|grep -v kde|grep -v 
Quick|grep -v -en- | xargs rm
ls --color=never ispell-*|grep -v american|grep -v 3.2.06|xargs rm

cd <tmp>/suse/noarch

ls --color=never yast2-trans-*|grep -v -en_|grep -v stats|xargs rm
ls --color=never susehelp_[a-z]*|grep -v en|xargs rm
ls --color=never suselinux-adminguide*|grep -v en|xargs rm
ls --color=never suselinux-userguide*|grep -v _en|xargs rm
ls --color=never myspell-*|grep -v american|xargs rm
ls --color=never k*-i18*|grep -v en|xargs rm


cd <tmp>/suse

(change drive letters below to suit)

growisofs -Z /dev/hdb -J -r -l -no-emul-boot -b boot/loader/isolinux.bin -c 
boot/loader/boot.cat -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table .



For the X64 disk, delete the <tmp>/suse/i586  and i686  directories.  That 
should be sufficient.
