Forgive my this embarrassing question - but -
how to copy files/pictures from CD in Suse 11.3 ?
CD drive is seen ok but I have no idea how to copy the contets from
CD to a hard drive.

TIA

Either with the cp command or with a file manager.

The important issue though, is where is the CD mounted -- probably
/media/cdrom

Unless 11.3 ha a very much different behaviour in kde4 or gnome (I'm still
on 11.0 at work and 11.1 on laptop and 11.2 on home PC ...)
1. The graphical way:
Open the kfmclient icon (Looks like a house and opens as a konqueror
instance). Browse the CD mountpoint: /media/some_disk_name
select the files, copy and paste the harddisklocation.
2. Bash way:
Open terminal window. type:
cd /media/some_disk_name
cp filename /home/yourname/the_final_location
