 http://www.os-cillation.com/index.php?id=30&L=5 is a link to xfce4 install programs.
I used them pretty much all the time now, last couple of times, all started and
finished with no problems. They just really do the configure make && make install of
all of the packages. There seems to completely done in :
    * Installer Xfce
    * Installer Gtk+ Xfce Engine
    * Installer Xfce Goodies
    * Installer Terminal

I looked at the OpenPKG.org, looks neat. I have acouple of questions that I did not
see answers for.
 1. is there a cost to this package or is it open source, It showed a nice comerical
looking box.
 2. I have an AMD64 cpu here will it install on my system, some see the _i86_64 and
quit. Suse does create the 64 bit and 32 directories so all programs can run.

Yast2 on a Suse 9.2 does show the xfce4 programs for install on my machimne.

Some one like Lonnie or Kurt may know this. Does Suse build the system as i86_386
compatiable type system or does it build from source rpms'?

cheers
