One Click Installer for Suse 10.3

I've tried the one click installer on my machine (pretty new Suse 10.3
installation). This is my story:

Abstract: The one click installer works! But you will need to install
"libdb-4.3.so" first.

A linux noop that struggles for the last 2 weeks to get his apps running.

case history (or what you should not do)
==========
I wanted to install plone. I allready had known that plone is a product for
zope. So I was going directly to zope and read there installation guide for
zope 3. There was the order to install python 2.4.1(!). I've done that.
After this, I've downloaded Zope, made the configure, make, make install
thing. Zope (3.3.1) told me that python 2.4.4 would be the right thing. That
was disturbing for me but I choose to ignore this, because the installer
said, that 2.4.1 will work, too.
Than created a new zope instance with mkinstance.
After this I went to the plone homepage and found a all in one installation
bundle! %-|:,(

CONCLUSION: 
- If you plone guys have personal friends at the zope team, ask if they can
put a small info on the zope download site, that there are complete
zope+plone+python packages out there.
- Tell 'em about the 2.4.1 vs. 2.4.4. thing in there documentation.

The Plone installation
=================
I had than downloaded the all in one bundle. 37MB - why not.
After unzipping I've read the README/index.html.
There I found the hint to the one click installation.
HINT: But a link to the one click installation to the "Home → Products → 
Plone" Website under the Suse bundle.
I had no idea what "Open my Plone repository inside the openSUSE Build
Service" means. The easiest way is just clicking on the link in the
Konquerer. 
HINT: I think a ">>click here<< and chose the ymp file in you distributions
folder to start the installation." would imply not so much "previous
knowledge".
Than the installation start and all 37MB were loaded again. Thats not your
fault. If I could somehow tell Yast to use the allready downloaded files,
that would speed the whole thing up. But I can't (cause I'm a noop :teeth:
).

After that, I've got the information that python could not be installed
because "libdb-4.3.so" was missing.
Because I don't want a corrupt installation (or whatever happens when I
ignore this), I stoped the installer and installed this rpm first:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/5249437/com/db43-4.3.29-59.i586.rpm.html

Than I startet the one-click-installer again (37MB for the third time -
nice), but IT WORKED!!! Wonderfull.
I have a highspeed flat rate, so 100MB of traffic are not the problem, if it
finally works!

But: There was nothing about starting plone in the text. As a former windows
user, I was searching the "K-Menu" for zope or plone - nothing found.
In the standard installtion description I found that zope was installed as
service, and could be startet (as root) with "rczope start". It worked, too.

So the installer worked.
