[opensuse] Adding multiple IP addresses to existing NIC

Hi All, Thanks for any pointers. On Suse 9.3(CONSOLE only, no GUI), what are the steps needed to add multiple IP addresses to the NIC ? Previously, while using Redhat (not Fedora), we used to a) make a copy of ./etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 b) rename the copy to ./sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth01 c) edit the contents of the new file and d) reboot and lo and behold, we had multiple IP addresses for the NIC. What are the equivalent steps for Suse 9.3 ? Thank you so much, BR, ~A
