Looking good.  Thanks for all the effort - never thought I would start what
ended up to be this when building XASTIR with all the bells and whistles
last night, but the results are nice.

Noticing in the Wiki there was not an equivalent of the HowTo:Ubuntu 6.10 or
7.04 for openSUSE, I set out to try to accomplish the same tasks that are
layed out in a very nice step by step fashion in the HowTo for Ubuntu so
that they could possibly be documented in a new HowTo for openSUSE 10.2.  I
figured it was a way I could contribute given the help I have received.  The
information above helps with creating the HowTo because the steps can be
organized to cover the recommended options first before moving on to the
more adventurous options for those who want to.  My main motivation for
loading everything last night was so that I could document how, but I'm sure
perfectionism had something to do with it, too.

Have a great weekend,
