Ok, a directory that is just empty? I'm sure I can handle that.

Ok, I will. I'll need to sort out some remote access to my dev machine at 
work, as that is the only SUSE system I have access to at the moment. I'm not

I read that document but not really at length. But you're right, it looks like 
I've done some things improperly (it works, but it may not upgrade properly
