Hello, Kevin --

A great question that I anticipated (for myself) without answering in my 
message!  I have resisted going directly to Jaunty 100% PENDING getting 
the openSUSE stuff copied over adequately.  Therefore, at this time, 
the two distinct approaches are one and the same for me!  So we can 
consider it to be more like replacing Kubuntu's stuff with openSUSE's.  
I hope this helps (and even simplifies!) things.
