use YAST .posts 1 and 10 give details for setting up sources for suse.afterwards,it's just a matter of running "Install and Remove Software".

i'm trying to install diablo 2, will it be the same with all windows software?

windows software won't run directly on linux.wine or cedega (??) would be your best bet.i don't use either so i can't be more specific.

You can't run Windows software in Linux unless you are using WINE or Cedega(for Windows games).

EDIT: Beat me

BTW Cedega can run Half Life 2 so I'm sure it can run Diablo 2 also.
