If you just want to get a single debian package onto a non-debian system, you can probably use ar. If you do # ar x whatever.deb you'll get three files: a format version file which you can ignore, a control tarball (with things like INSTall and ReMove scripts) and a data tarball with the thing itself. The `file' command is your friend. HTH Jiri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
