I was just in the process of responding to a user's query about getting some 
10.2 software, and I noticed a gap in our software provision.

I was going to say "Just go to software.opensuse.org/search, type 'appname' 
and then click the 1-click-install link to get appname".  But then I tested 
my advice and discovered that of course 10.2 does not know what to do with 
a .ymp file.

Could someone involved with software.opensuse.org add a link to 
software.o.o/search that is something like

"Using 10.2 or earlier? Find out how to add the 1-Click Install capability to 
your system" 
->

Members of the openSUSE community have made it possible to for you to easily 
obtain packages from the openSUSE Build Service using 1-Click Install links 
returned by this search engine.  But in order to use this new capability, 
you'll need to add it to your openSUSE 10.2 or older installation.  To do 
this, follow these instructions

1. Start YaST2 and go to 'Installation Source'.

2. Click 'Add' and add the appropriate repository URL for your SUSE:
   
   *) openSUSE 10.2: 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/openSUSE_10.2
   *) SUSE Linux 10.1: 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/SUSE_Linux_10.1
   *) SUSE Linux 10.0: 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/SUSE_Linux_10.0

3. Click 'Finish'.

4. In YaST2, go to 'Software Management'.

5. Install yast2-metapackage-handler: In the Search field, 
enter 'yast2-metapackage-handler'.  

6. Check the box for the package found, then click Accept.  The 1-Click 
Install handler is installed.

After installation completes, return to http://software.opensuse.org/search ;
and you can now use the handy 1-Click Install links to install the software 
you find.

Install.
