And why do I need this Henne?  I already know where they are!  Remember 
my email at the bottom?  Maybe you don't.

You miss the whole point!  Logically, there should be as much mention of 
source files as of anything else.  Logically, according to the GPL, 
source files are equally if not more important than binaries.  If any 
logic had been used, sources wouldn't be so difficult to find from the 
box or from the sites.

Loving it is not going to fix it.  If you continue to wax over the 
little points, pretty soon a lot of big ones will show up as well.  
Will you still be loving it then or one of the users yelling the 
loudest?  Novell needs to realize they are dealing with open source 
software now.  Maybe they'll eventually get it right, maybe they won't, 
but one thing sure, they do need to fix some things.
