How do I install vncserver in SUSE 11?

Question

Hey,
I am new to linux.
I want to remote into SUSE and I have given up on FreeNX for now.
I downloaded the vnc-unixsrc.tar.gz and extracted it in my documents but now I am stuck. I just have a bunch of files and don't know how to interact with them. I blindly tried 'YaST install vncserver' and it found nothing. Should I have extracted them in /etc/ ...?

Thanks for the help!!!
