 146 Unfortunatly the openSUSE distribution does not provide a electronics menu entry for all the nice gEDA programms.
 147 Peter Clifton has created a menu entry for electronics. This menu package is available in the <strong>electronics-menu</strong> rpm.
 148 It contains the menu item and some icons for it. The menu categorie is called <strong>Edutainment–&gt;Electronics</strong> in openSUSE.

 165 openSUSE calls it&#039;s <em>SuSEconfig</em> program after every installation of rpm packages with YaST.
 166 Thus it&#039;s not necessary to integrate all configuration calls into the <em>post</em> and <em>postun</em> rpm sections.

 170 The only additions in the <acronym title="specification">spec</acronym> files are for the <em>Shared <acronym title="Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension">MIME</acronym> Info</em>.

 187 Another addition is required to install the mimelnks properly in the KDE environment.
 188 KDE does not take care of the mimelnks installed in <em>/usr/share/mimelnk</em>/, thus they have to be copied to
 189 the KDE directory <em>/opt/kde3/mimelnk</em>/. This is done in the rpm <acronym title="specification">spec</acronym> file inside the %install section
