YaST2 is my friend.

Commercial winex or the free CVS download of the reduced Version? Anyway I will try it.
Thanks

CVS reduced Version, the only real difference between them is copywright support(which se4 does not use), and support for ms installer, which se4 also does not use. Unfortunately, I have spoke too soon though, I am unable to save my game, I get an error. This may be because of the file system I am using,(reiser3), but I don't know, let me know if file saves work for you.

Ok how do you down load the CVS reduced Version? I was trying to get it with kget but it was the wrong url.

There is an excellent howto located at www.frankscorner.org, I can't remember where exactly, but I am pretty sure, look at the left for the howto's link, and it is in there.

Ok CVS was to hard for me so I spent my 15$ on the commercial winex. After a few installs Point2Play-small-suse-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm was the one that worked. I told p2p to load seiv and the matrix launcher in virtual desktops. It moves a little slow but MUCH better for me than duel boot. No error Messages yet. The game creation screen is the only gui loading bad and its just the bottom right boarder missing.
I wouldnt call it perfect but its good

Cool, are you able to save your games? I ran into problems there.
