In fact, I always keep 10GB of spare space cause I like testing other stuff. If you're shhort of space don't do it. If you still plan to install other distros it may be advisable to create partitions correspondingly

what about swap partition? Again if unsure, give little less to Slackware, because you're installing SuSE now.

Leave empty unformatted partition for slackware about 5GB for testing reasons.
And as for Slackware, no, no DVDs, only 2CDs of Full Install. But don't worry about it now. Focus on SuSE

Grub is default in SuSE, and BTW I think, personally, the best. Lilo sometimes can seriously mess up your boot sectors
G'luck

No need floppy, SuSE comes with nifty selfrepair kit on install CD/DVD. So, go ahead! Don't worry, we'll give you cover fire
