+** SUSE based distributions (openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise)
+
+On systems with distributions, you can install source and debug info
+via superuser commands like the following:
+
+    # Install Emacs source and debuginfo by using --plus-content
+    zypper --plus-content debug,source install emacs-debuginfo emacs-debugsource

+To get describe-function and similar commands to work, you can then
+add something like the following to your startup file:
+
+    (setq find-function-C-source-directory
+          (car (file-expand-wildcards "/usr/src/debug/emacs-*/src")))

+The line above should work for all systems using zypper besides SUSE
+based ones, however it could be that you have to adjust the path to
+the sources slightly depending on the version of the distribution you
+have installed.
