Both Redhat and Mandrake are RPM-based. AFAIK, the only systems that use .debs are Debian, Debian-derived systems (Libranet, Xandros, Knoppix), and Fink (a package management system for MacOS X). As for installing .debs on Redhat, I have been successful in using alien to convert various Debian packages to RPM and have had no trouble installing them under Redhat. Then again, I haven't tried installing anything especially complicated, just QWT and Xerces. YMMV. } -surgin --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
