All views expressed on this site are my own. They do not necessarily reflect those of the Parish of Bursledon, the Diocese of Winchester or the Church of England. As such, I do not expect them all to be popular but you, the reader, can certainly expect them to be honest.

A while ago a posted information on how to obtain and configure commercial plugins on SUSE Linux OSS 10.0 along with a package, setup-commercial-plugins, to do the leg-work for you.

Well, you don't have to do that any more thanks to the wonderful magic of the "Extra" repository. This has been around a while, but I've never mentioned it because shortly after posting that information, I switched to the boxed version of 10.0.

Anyway, you can get them directly from here, or you can add ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/10.1/inst-source-extra/ as an installation source in YaST, or as a YaST2 channel in Smart (I'll be doing the latter). You don't need the extra package, SUSE's packages put the plugins in the right place.

Incidentally, you can get smart and smart-gui for the Betas/Factory from here.

Update: You can get the MS TrueType font collection by downloading and running (as root) this script.
