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.

The easiest way I know to make a boot floppy customized to a SuSE system is to tell YaST to install the boot loader to /dev/fd0 instead of /dev/hda. This is available both durring install and from YaST on the installed system.
Technically, this should install grub stage1 to the boot sector of the floppy disk instead of the hard drive. The stage1 will still need to load stage2 from your /boot partition (though this should be transparent to you, and wouldn't touch your mbr).
