You *are* aware of the fact that debian uses .deb files, and not rpm's, right? Ofcourse, you *can* use rpm's, but if there's a .deb available, by all means, use it :) Check out www.debian.org/Packages. Now, if you *have* to use rpm's, take a look at the 'alien' package. It converts a lot of formats to .deb. But you'll still have to be careful, as rpm's were made for Redhat. -- scratch --:: Nico Galoppo ::-------------------------------------------------- --:: scratch at ace.ulyssis.student.kuleuven.ac.be ::----------------- :: :: --:::::::::::::::::::::::::: Linux - Free power for the masses :::::::
