Also note that the scenery on the fgfs website (when it becomes available
again) is most likely incompatible with the FlightGear version that comes
shipped with suse. All the new scenery is in a new, smaller, binary format.
IIRC, the version included in Suse 7.2 is not yet capable of reading binary
format.
