Hi Tom

sure, I should have added them in my first post. 

I was initially referred to this one, which although not exactly a
howto, did help me with my first steps with OBS:

http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/06/20/opensuse-factory-fixing-packages

I don't have any other links handy, but I know I've come across one or
two other blogs which were helpful.  There are also guides/references
to the osc (the command line interface) and the web-ditto.  Due to the
SOPA sillyness today, I can't access most/all of the other openSUSE
pages. :-)
