 140 Unfortunately the openSUSE distribution does not provide a electronics menu entry for all the nice gEDA programs.
 141 Peter Clifton has created a menu entry for electronics. This menu package is available in the <strong>electronics-menu</strong> rpm.
 142 It contains the menu item and some icons for it. The menu category is called <strong>Edutainment</strong>→<strong>Electronics</strong> in openSUSE.

 159 openSUSE calls it&#039;s <em>SuSEconfig</em> program after every installation of rpm packages with YaST.
 160 Thus it&#039;s not necessary to integrate all configuration calls into the <em>post</em> and <em>postun</em> rpm sections.

 164 The only additions in the <abbr title="specification">spec</abbr> files are for the <em>Shared MIME Info</em>.

 179 Another addition is required to install the mimelnks properly in the KDE environment.
 180 KDE does not take care of the mimelnks installed in <em>/usr/share/mimelnk/</em>, thus they have to be copied to
 181 the KDE directory <em>/opt/kde3/mimelnk/</em>. This is done in the rpm <abbr title="specification">spec</abbr> file inside the %install section

 198 For those who don&#039;t use YaST for installation the SuSEconfig command has to be executed manually after installing or removing any rpm package.
