I'm sure this is an FAQ, but I haven't been able to find it.

The Org-mode manual says under "Installation", "If you are using a version of Org that is part of the Emacs distribution or an XEmacs package, please skip this section and go directly to Activation."  The problem is that the distribution version I have, bundled in with the emacs package supplied by openSUSE, is more than a major revision out of date, at least with regard to org-mode. So the question is, what's the proper way to upgrade it without breaking anything by accident?

Let's assume I have root access to the computer. Is it as simple as downloading the current org-mode source, running make and all that, and then replacing the existing .elc files in /usr/share/emacs/23.2/lisp/org with the new ones?
