Definitely an AAA+ :-)

Yipee!  Now all up-to-date.  However, it appears that the updates to 
KDE and KOffice are not officially on the SuSE sit yet, 'cos they 
weren't included :-(  So, unless I learn another way to get the newer 
versions,  I'll have to wait until the release of SuSE 10.2.  Any 
suggestions, of a not too technical nature?
