Using alien to convert the .rpms to .debs won't work - the binaries will all segfault. Try converting them to .tar.gzs, and extracting the binaries under /opt, then find and run the 'ominstall' (or something like that) script. Two tips: * Read through the postings on the OpenMail web message board on http://www.ice.hp.com. There have been postings from Debian users trying to do the same thing your are. * DO NOT RUN OUT OF INODES. Make sure /proc/sys/fs/inode-max is set very high.

I'd be most grateful! -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
