Nate, Your a God among us mere newbies. I pulled down alien, created a deb package from the rpm and it installed beautifully..
Course, now I am getting hardware problems running digiConf but that's my area of familiarity! Thanks again for all of your help!!

( You know in > winblows, I can just cut and paste!! :-) ) as someone else pointed out you can redirect the output which is the easiest method, I do it this way: rpm --rebuild filename.src.rpm >&/tmp/rebuild.log (you won't see anything on the screen until the command completes) you can go a bit further: rpm --rebuild filename.src.rpm >&tmp/rebuild.log & tail -f /tmp/rebuild.log (you'll need to CTRL-C once the rebuild is complete to exit) nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
