Kynaptic is Debians Synaptic for KDE, right? I can't say if it widens your choice a lot - personally, I've only very rarely had a need for software not found @SUSE, but our requirements could be quite different. But I do download many things directly and just build from scratch.
A nice way to do this now is make an RPM (e.g. with checkinstall or any other way) and then run `createrepo /usr/src/packages/RPMS` and add that directory to you installation source. If you have several machines to install, you can either see that the above URL is reachable by whatever networkmeans you have or burn the extra RPMs to a DVD (even if you already have a DVD) with `makeSUSEdvd -a /usr/src/packages/RPMS` which then lets you install the programs at the moment of installation. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
