Now that you mention joystick (you are going to hate me hehe) will there be 
instructions on loading this thing with the 2.4 Kernel? What would also be 
nice if you could include an option sometime in Yast1 or Yast2 that helps 
setup these things, but  I guess its still in development 

I have figured out how to get it to work manually:

insmod joydev
insmod gameport
insmod ns558
insmod analog

By the way, I have only just have this system up and running satisfactorily, 
but it lacks polish (still have broken GUI login). 

You did forget the Tekram driver too, but you covered yourself :-). Maybe a 
list should be compiled, I am sick of RH and VA getting all the credit, but 
you do not want to seem arrogant though.  With no SuSE Linux would still only 
be a hacker's OS.
