OK -- installed.

I wonder if the suse9 metapackage should be in emulators instead of 
meta-pkgs, or perhaps in addition to.  Also packages like aim and acroread5 
will install the older suse pieces if they're missing something, even 
if the other installed stuff uses suse9.  I suspect that can lead to 
trouble.
