If you're using SuSE 10.1, you want to use NFS Server and NFS Client in YaST > Network Services. The NFS Server settings will guide you through setting up a shared directory on the server machine, and the NFS Client will help you mount that shared directory on the client box. It should be fairly simple using YaST to do it.
I haven't used SuSE in a long time, so I'm not sure if this applies to versions before 10.1, but it likely does. If you can't do it through YaST, there are many guides for setting up NFS. This
site isn't the best guide I've seen, but it does go through the basics. Google 'setting up NFS' and you should find everything you need.
