Cool :) I've got another Athlon64 box that I want to load SUSE on. Once
I install it, and install apt-4-rpm (which you say is in the YOU
repository), I should then be able to get Synaptic? 

I thought Apt-4-RPM had their own repositories? If so, what is a "local"
one here in Australia?

Didn't "Red Carpet" solve RPM dependencies issues? Or is that now all
handled through YAST2?
