I just installed, on a new hard drive, not an 'upgrade', Suse 9.3. Note: it does not come with dosemu! I downloaded the rpm, and when I attempted to install it, I got the following error:

Looks like you tried installing the rpm as a normal user. su to root and try again
I am supposed to install it as a user, not root, so the files are in /opt and in my home directory. actually I did install it as root by mistake (su) so I had to use locate to find all the pieces to delete.
