Notice that the book currently included with the box is not the thick book 
that /was/ included with the box 2 or 3 years ago, and which is the one I 
would like to have in paper now and then.

It would be the one that they include as html or pdf, the 
"/usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-manual_en/manual/index.html", I think, 
that was called the "admin" book.
