That looks cool. However, I didn't find it in YaST.   The website does have a 
binary RPM. I  simply downloaded it and double-clicked it.  It installed just 
fine.

HOWEVER... It gives me a "command not found" when I try to actually run it. I 
even rebooted to see. Typing "which checkinstall" doesn't do anything either.
