Please, man. Not knowing your way around Linux doesn't mean you're stupid. And in SuSE 10.0 there's that search utility in the KDE menu that, well, searches through the various menus...
OK, back to topic, I tried "beagled" as root in Konsole, no results... Any help?

I wasn't implying that you were. It's just that often programs are put in non-obvious places in the menu - it's happened to me that an installed program wasn't put in the KDE menu where I thought it would be - sometimes things end up in the system menu or the utilities menu. Also, since you hadn't explicitly stated what you had done, I had to start from basics.
You said that you typed "beagled", if that wasn't a typo I think it should be "beagle".
Thanks for your replies, and sorry if I overreacted a bit. That was rude of me, sorry.
Anyway, I tried "beagle" in a console and nothing happened as well. "Beagled" stands for the Beagle Daemon, I read somewhere that beagled is the right command to start Beagle.
Did you install beagle originally, it is not on in the default install, you have to add it to the selection manually? If not, you can use YAST and the original install medium again, and you can add beagle.
That may be the problem. Scanning over the install doc, it seems that there are a few steps to get it to work. An automatic install may not cover all of the steps.
Originally posted by Livino That's that. Where's Beagle? How can I use? Can I use it with KDE?
Novell tells me Beagle comes with 10.0. I checked YaST and Beagle's installed alright.
I really want to try it!
Seems that I'm not the only one wondering about that
Well, I'm most certainly not anywhere near a Linux expert, but I think it comes installed by default only if you choose GNOME. Here's my experience:
I read the new features in SUSE 10 from www.Novell.com and was glad to find Beagle there. Downloaded the ISOs then started my first installation as I chose GNOME (because I used it in NLD9 and Ubuntu too) and there it was: Beagle is right where it should be. I tried it and it was cool.
But then I needed some applications and they are KDE stuff so I did a new installation but this time I chose KDE and guess what? No Beagle! Just like you said. Of course there is this practical menu search but it's no Beagle and when I tried looking everywhere and tried the menu search for Beagle I found nothing. I then turned to YaST and searched for Beagle so it turned out that it was not installed. Since I always go with installing the default packages, this means that Beagle comes installed by default if you choose GNOME and not installed by default if you choose KDE. I assume installing it on KDE would work (I'm gonna check about that later tonight).
Hope this cleared things a bit How could Novell do this? Is it so hard to mention that Beagle would be right there for you if you chose GNOME?? C'mon, Novell!!
I believe the correct question is, how do you enable the beagle daemon. I have beagle in my menus but when I search it says the Daemon is not running, how do i start the daemon?
