Thanks for the advice.  Did that successfully and now up-to-date, 
other than that it did not include KDE or KOffice!  So, unless there 
is another way in which "a bear of little brain" is able to 
successfully obtain and install these, it may be necessary to wait 
until the release of SuSE 10.2, in the hope that they will be 
included.
