Hi, Frank.
I've just installed SLES11 via the ftp method here on a z/VM 5.4 system
and I had no trouble.
Two things to check:
1) I think you might have one too many "SUSE" in the directory
path....use /pub/outgoing/Suse instead of /pub/outgoing/Suse/SUSE
2) what type of FTP server (Linux on Intel, Windows, Mac, etc.) are you
using? There are known problems with the Windows FTP server not
following the RFCs exactly.

to the point where I'm receiving: *** No repository found.
I'm thinking that it's my directory structure on the FTP server.
I entered the following:
Enter the IP address of the FTP server Ý10.2.0.99¨>
Enter the directory on the server Ý/pub/outgoing/Suse/SUSE¨>
Do you need a username and password to access the FTP server?
1) Yes 2) No
2
Use a HTTP proxy?
1) Yes 2) No
2
*** No repository found.

Here's how I have it structured:
