Thanks for all the replies! So from what i can tell the following appears to be correct: 1. Installing rpm via zypper pulls in all necessary dependencies (i think i had previously clicked on the default option when downloading from Firefox - which was Apper). 2. Crossover however still complains about missing packages - yet these are obsolete and therefore unnecessary? (in my instance CX complained about missing libjpeg62_32bit and that MS Office would have black icons, although there were no such problems) 3. Crossover obviously has minimal experience with installing using SUSE because the support i have gotten from them in the past led me down the path of manually installing dependencies. I am quite happy to compile some of this info and create a wiki page on it, or add this to the existing Wine page - it would be useful information for relative noobs like me. Secondly i agree it would be nice if someone from SUSE could email Codeweavers and re-establish the relationship there, personally i feel its a bit of a bummer that they no longer officially support the distro. It's a pretty handy application for me as i am forced to use MS Office by my work requirements (although maybe Libreoffice 4 goes some way to reducing this need - i will see).
