Read install info prior to linux

i would like to read the manual and administrators guide in suse 8.2 prior to install on my windows 98 machine, using ms word.

it would seem to me that linux people know dos people need to do this, but i have no idea how to start.

thanks!

Can you be more specific about your question? The only online reference I can (quickly) find to a "manual and administrators guide in suse 8.2" references an actual *paper* document.

Clearly, you are referring to some file. If you can provide a URL for it, I (or someone else here) can probably help out. If you cannot (if the file is only available on purchased CDs, for example), you will need help not from "linux people" but specifically from a SuSE 8.2 user.

While I have not seen the document in question, Linux docs *typically* are either simple text documents (easily read in Word), html (easily read in any browser), or PDF (easily read using Adobe Acrobat). What we need to know to help you is the format of the doc. It is, of course, possible that SuSE uses some other format for this manual, one that intentionally makes it hard to read it on DOS or WIndows systems ... though I cannot immediately think of a business benefit to their doing so.
