My old howto that someone kindly transposed is here. It also looks like someone has updated for it 11.0.

The Privoxy Installtion how-to reads:

Firstly we setup Privoxy. Using Yast -> Software -> Software Management Search for Privoxy and install. (You need a Yast installation source OSS repo)

Done that fine.

Check if the privoxy is executing:

* Restart your computer and log in as the root user
* Open a terminal window and execute: ps -ef | grep privoxy
* You should get a listing with two lines:
o The privoxy process
o The "grep privoxy" process
* If you only get "grep privoxy", then the proxy is not started!

Did this, Privoxy is not running.

Now, I go to the last part of the Privoxy how-to.

In my Opensuse 11.0 installation, I had to add the privoxy to the "init" startup. Script "/etc/init.d/privoxy" was installed, but no links were set in the "rc?.d" directories to the script.

How do I know if Privoxy needs to be added to "init" startup? If it does, how do I do that?

How do I know if script "/etc/init.d/privoxy" is installed? How do I do this if it is not?

How do I check to see if links are set to rc.d directories? If they are not set, how do I do that?

If I can get all my questions answered, get Tor and Privoxy up and running with Firefox, I will write out a non-assuming how-to from start to finish.
