It should be on the CDs.

I have not added it to http://software.opensuse.org/download/M17N/ yet
because there has been no update since the release of SuSE Linux 10.1,
i.e. the package from 10.1 should still be fine. I will add
xemacs-packages to http://software.opensuse.org/download/M17N/ as soon
as I have any update.

The -el packages only contain the lisp source files (.el files) which
are not needed at runtime. I.e. these packages are only interesting
for those who want to read the sources. Sometimes the source files
contain some documentation at the top, i.e. even if you don't want to
read the lisp code you may find some useful documentation about how to
use some features in the source files.

But you certainly don't need these packages to run XEmacs, they
are completely optional.

I still cannot reproduce that. It works fine for me.

Can you give any more details how to reproduce that problem.
