Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I downloaded all files from suse webiste approx 3/4 gig. Created a bootable CD which boots ok. When I goto installation option it asks for CD1. How do I install SUSE 8.1 from downloaded files sitting in windows XP machine.
This would be where you need to make your XP a NFS (Network file system) - if in fact that can even be done (I truly have no idea). SuSE don't want you to d/l and keep the isos like that... they want you to do an ftp install, or go buy the disks.
Did you download the iso images? If so you can burn them to cd. Check out linuxiso.org to find out how to burn the images. Burning iso's is a delicate thing.
