Chuck, the one Mav linked is definitely the one for 10 as noted on the
page. I just downloaded it and installed it. No complaints by YaST at
all. First RPM at the top of the page. It created a Kmenu link under

log in and configure. Don't forget the change the default blank sql
root password. I'll relink:
