No need to wait. . .  just browse on over to ftp.suse.com and 
go to the nearest ftp site to you.  Then download the boot images you need 
and I think the setup.exe.  do not forget to download the rescue disk image :)

You can use rawrite, found under dosutil, to copy the disk images from your 
harddrive to your respective floppies.

I think that the setup.exe would be able to do this for you but I still live 
in the Slackware world for now; bad word I know :)
