SUSE LINUX for i386 can be installed free of charge directly from the FTP server. Before you start, please read the installation guideline!
Download the floppy disk image boot/bootdisk as well as the module disk image files you need (at least boot/modules1 and likely the network modules from boot/modules3).

Write the images to floppy disks using the 'dd' command:

dd if=[path_to_image] of=/dev/fd0 bs=36b

On non-linux systems, use the rawrite utility from the dosutils/rawrite directory (rawrite.exe).
