I know the extra updated packages on ftp.suse.com are supplementary, but it's a real pain that SuSE don't keep them in sync. e.g. under Gnome there is a mozilla-1.0-10.rpm but under Mozilla there is a mozilla-1.0-4.i386.rpm - so you can't use the mozilla-mail-1.0-4.i386.rpm (to get mail in mozilla) package unless you install the Mozilla directory version of mozilla - of course then you can't use the galeon out of the Gnome directory :(
I know it's work for SuSE to keep doing these builds, but it's frustrating as a user to go through this.
That's why apt4rpm was invented: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/ If that's too convoluted, just download from the FTP site: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/8.0-i386/ It's synchronized with the latest and greatest updates + supplementary stuff. -jrh
