No this is one of the things that really bugs me about Opensuse...the reason I think for this apparent madness is that they don't officially support doing a network installation over the internet, you are supposed to do it from a local mirror.
Anyway the path you need on any of the opensuse mirrors is
/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/
take care because the mirrors address needs to be an IP address not a domain name.
So for example giving the ip address of 204.152.191.39 for the ftp host and the path as above should get you installing from mirrors.kernel.org
Have a lot of fun. Wayne
