Thank you, Andrew.  I was unaware of the site you pointed to:
http://clusterlabs.org/mw/Documentation I have just loaded that page, and
will read it shortly.

I was unaware before I visited the Open SuSE site that it hosted rpms for,
seemingly, *every* kind of Linux.  (I am a bottomless bit of ignorance, as
it turns out.)

I've just finished putting this newer version of heartbeat on my would-be
cluster and I will start again, testing.

Karl
