Is there a way to just ERASE the hard drive completely (and allow SuSE to repartition it, etc.) so that when I insert the installation CDs everything will start from scratch? (Right now, when I try to install, things do not go well at all. It complains about some shared objects and gives a "segmentation fault.")

Look at the man pages for fdisk and mkfs. These need to be run as root with great care.
You will also want to consider which filesystem you will want to format. See the "-t" option for mkfs.
