How to install KDE 4.0 in OpenSUSE 10.3 - 1-Click install

I saw this excellent tutorial on ubuntu-tutorials about steps to install KDE4.0 in ubuntu. Its easy, actually fairly easy.
However, it involves use of command line, vim and warns to remove any previous installation of KDE 4.0.
Basically the steps are
  1. Remove any previous KDe 4.0 install

    sudo aptitude remove kdelibs5 kde4base-data kde4libs-data

  2. edit the /etc/apt/sources.list

    sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list

    and append this line

    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy main
  3. Finally install the KDE 4.0 packages by these two commands

    sudo aptitude update
    sudo aptitude install kde4-core


so a total of 3 steps involving command line.
Hey why am I mentioning command line this often ? This is Linux and command line is an integral part of it, specially for installing packages ;right ?
Well !! its partially right, true that command line is integral to Linux, however, for trivial tasks like installing KDE 4.0 its not required, provided the distribution you choose is OpenSUSE 10.3.

Lets check the OpenSUSE KDE4 webpage for the steps required to install KDE 4.0.
Bingo !! OpenSUSE guys have integrated KDE4 install with their famed 1-Click install service and now KDE4 could be installed just by clicking this single icon .

Just a minute, what about any previous installation of KDE 4.0. Intrestingly, you are lucky if you already have a KDE4 version installed, as all you need to do is open YAST GUI and update all pacakges. All the KDE4 packages will be updated to the latest version.
OpenSUSE has truly eliminated command line from KDE4 install and I love mouse clicks.
