Install MATE on openSUSE using a script
We've seen the first tutorial how to install MATE on openSUSE 13.2. Then the second one about install MATE using NET installation.
Although there's a pattern to install, you can install it using the following script, so it'll place the Display Manager as well. Next release, I guess it'll be as option during installation on DVD (or NET Install).
1. Perform the installation as described here from 1-12.
2. Open your terminal and download the script mate.sh
wget https://copy.com/aRPE0BL1B9LiUWO9/mate.sh
3. Make the file mate.sh, executable.
chmod +x mate.sh
4. Run mate.sh
./mate.sh
Answer y (yes) to every question.
Here what's inside this script.
1. Install the necessary programs.

2. It'll delete the /etc/sysconfigdisplaymanager. It will download from my git, my working displaymanager (lightdm as default).
git clone https://github.com/iosifidis/13.2.git
Will copy the file to /etc/sysconfig
3. After that, it'll delete all downloaded files.
4. Reboot. If everything was OK, then you'll see the following screen. Change session to MATE and you're all set.
