Start with "man dpkg", then install dpkg-dev, read a few manpages, then go to www.debian.org and find the rest of the information scattered over the "developers corner" page. Don't forget to download hello.tar.gz, hello.diff.gz and hello.dsc. Then do "dpkg-source -x hello.dsc" and build a hello.deb by typing "debian/rules binary" in the unpacked hello source top level directory. Cheers, Joost
