sl-release replaces custom sl.repo file

I am experimenting with bluetooth with SL5.4 (yes, I know it is not the latest) and having trouble locating relevant tutorials, documentation, etc. on the web. Most linux bluetooth info is missing, out of date, KDE/debian/ubuntu centric, etc. Bluetooth may "just work" if the hardware is right.
