Yes. It's a rather small download, you only really need the main package cjk-latex.rpm, all other cjk-latex-*.rpm packages are optional, rarely used fonts. Probably it is best to use the fonts from ttf-kochi-mincho.rpm and ttf-kochi-gothic.rpm which are already available on the German CDs/DVD.
It works as described. Only one thing was missing, namely the tfm files for these fonts (they seem not to be on the DVD). However, I found your explanation on http://lists.suse.com/archive/m17n/2001-Nov/0034.html and accordingly did
# rpm -i ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.2-i386/cjk-latex-tfm-kochi-mincho-4.4.0_20010731-0.i386.rpm # rpm -i ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.2-i386/cjk-latex-tfm-kochi-gothic-4.4.0_20010731-0.i386.rpm
You don't need these packages with the .tfm files anymore, the .tfm files are automatically created by SuSEconfig since SuSE Linux 8.0. See also /usr/share/doc/packages/cjk-latex/README.SuSE. Sorry for not documenting that good enough.
For the record, the error I encountered was something along these lines:
[...]
] ! Font C70/komi/m/n/12/4e=kochimin-uni4e at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
Probably you didn't run SuSEconfig after installing cjk-latex.rpm.
You can remove the packages with the .tfm files again and run
SuSEconfig
or just
SuSEconfig --module cjk-latex
this will generate .tfm files for all installed TrueType fonts which
have corresponding entries in /etc/ttf2pk/ttfonts.map. Such entries
already exist for all CJK TrueType fonts available as SuSE Linux
packages.
If you don't remove the packages with the .tfm files, you will have
the .tfm files twice in different directories as soon as you run
SuSEconfig.
