suse 8.2 ftp install using a proxy

For several days I have been trying to install suse
8.2 via ftp using a proxy without success. I tried the
installation booting from the floppy and using
modules1 and modules3 (each on a different floppy):
all worked well until the moment of reading the
packages to install. The error message was: "Cannot
read package data from installation media. Media
error?".
Being tired, I have installed suse 8.1 in the same way
and all worked perfectly: suse 8.1 was installed in a
couple of hours.
Do you know if suse 8.2 ftp installation through a
proxy has some problems? Is there a way to accomplish
the installation?
Some friends of mine have told me that suse doesn't
allow any more the ftp installation (but I can't
believe this: it's against the free software
philosophy that animates linux community). Is it true?

Thank you for your help.
Bye, Arrigo
