No problem,
I used the rpm installer in both cases for SuSE. Concerning rcsyslog, the symlink still points to /etc/init.d/syslog instead of /etc/init.d/syslog-ng. Nothing uses rcsyslog to start syslog-ng, it's just in SuSE's documentation that services can be restarted with "rcservice-name" restart, so I tried it out. I changed the symlink and it works.
Thanks,
Steve
