Screensaver and 'fortune'
(SuSE Linux 8.2 Personal)

I'm sure the answer to this will be simple, but it's been driving me insane for the last couple days.

SuSE 8.2 comes with a bunch of screensavers, but a handful of them just repeatedly display 'sh: line 1: fortune: command not found'. I've been scouring endlessly looking for a fortune command, but can't find one. I've found 'fortune.elc', but can't go much with it. What can I do?

open up yast and go to install new software, search for 'fortune' and install it.

I've already searched YaST for it; several times, in fact. No help there.
