1) Because SuSE does not exist anymore. It is SUSE
2) Because Novell is into the software business and not into the Book
printing business.
3) Because it is not costefficient
4) Because it has been proven that people generaly don't read them anyway
5) Because people want cheaper
6) Because the process took too much time and resources
7) Because they sold more Upgrades then Full versions and guessed it was
because of price
8) Because they want to encourage others to write books
9) ...
My guess would be 8. So just start writing your own book and start

Don't forget to include a DVD and perhaps even MPlayer and libdvdcss and
other multimedia things.
That is the nice thing about OSS. If the people don't do what you want, do
it yourself.
