Yes, I know.  From our discussion on the openSuse forum, you may
recall it has never worked for me.   The whys and wherefores of that
have been quite amusing to attempt to discover, given the somewhat
varying descriptions and diverse argot I've happened to stumble across 
in the vast regions of the web.

Now, yes even now, I allow the hope to once more spring forth that I 
may again, some day soon, rejoin the ranks of "those than can" and
cast aside the stigma of "those that can't".   

And when, not IF, I should succeed in this mighty task, I will display
genuine humility, will not crow at all, but modestly thank the Academy,
not forgetting to praise those that helped me, on the way up.
