I only have SuSE 8.2 Pro, it comes with SpamAssassin on CD 4.

However, I first installed SpamAssassin when I was running SuSE 8.0 and I 
completely installed it using CPAN (perl). And I never spoke perl before. And 
I don't speak perl now ;-). It wasn't easy, but the result was worth all the 
learning.

Check the INSTALL file that comes with SpamAssassin. Most of the required perl 
modules come with SuSE 8.2 (at least in the Pro version).

If you don't have them on your CDs, most modules can be installed using 

        perl -MCPAN -e shell                    [as root]
        o conf prerequisites_policy ask
	install <module name>
	install <next module>
	quit						[to exit perl]

eg.  install ExtUtils::MakeMaker
       install File::Spec
       ...
        install Mail::SpamAssassin

Ciao,
   Oliver
