Could you give us at least details on your installation. What problem are you encountering: Did the CD/DVD boot up after restart? Did you reach the installation menu?

good questions. the cdr failed to boot entirely. when i turned on my machine, went to f12 to choose boot options, chose cd/dvd/cdrw option, hit enter, with cdr already inserted and a grub loader message appears very briefly at which time the suse system overrides ( i guess ) the boot option

Check the downloaded ISO's integrity and compare it with its valid MD5 hash.
md5 xxxxxx-8.04-kubuntu.iso
You might have burned a corrupted ISO.
