a common package format would be great, high priority for me at least :) btw, what problems can i expect the other way, i.e., installing Debian packages on RedHat systems? do the Debian dpkg at least check to see if it is overwriting existing files? i was thinking of installing Debian packages on a RedHat system just now, actually. bye, -- Bjørn Stabell <mailto::[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.cc.uit.no/~bjoerns/> <fax:+4777644100>
