Neither Redhat nor Mandrake support the use of Debian packages. You could attempt to use 'alien' to convert the packages to RPMs, but that is just as likely to cause the programs to fail as it is for them to work. A Redhat machine may not have (and in truth will most likely not have) the same versions of dependancies, or the same package names, and thus the dependancies could become hosed. -- Nathan Poznick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The tragedy of war is that it uses man's best to do man's worst. - Harry Emerson Fosdick
