Sorry about that installed SUSE 10.2 on my machine....

Just spent half the night messing with "conglomerate", guess I am
missing something, plus reading one of their numerous "read me files"
it said that 0.9.1 not to expect too much......

duh, I had gone through the "Package Groups", "Search" in YaST on XML
brought up a whole slew of stuff, there went an evening.

Really love the learning curve, getting a "tar" file then trying to
figure out where to put it, which switch to use, where to put the
install and then oops mistyped something, where did it
go..........     F@$% %^&&^$#^%#  ........... oops that is how one
archives it tape, figure this all out but cannot compile or
something..........
.........then after four hours, a noble guide informs this lost soul
that it is on their machine already, even found "conglomerate", check
the boxes, pull the CD's and away we go, I hope....  It is midnight
there are a few more hours left....

Would like to find a brain dead site, for example this "tar"
thing.....
Copy files to or restore files from an archive medium.  Options need
not be preceded by "-" (though they may be).  The exception to this
rule is when your are using a long-style option. -  Linux In a
Nutshell page 429.  I then got to read three pages of options all to
figure out how to use "tar", my GUI Archive Manager would export, but
then the question was to where, my local user, root, under /usr/
bin.......  where is the "politically correct" rule of thumb location
for downloaded apps  ?

Installing as I type here, thanks oh great masters of the "tar" and
the "grep" - seriously thanks, lets see how this goes,
