"alien -c <name-of-rrpm>" turns an RPM into a DEB, which you can then install. The beauty of this is that any conflicting dependencies will be checked against other packages. You can also in install RPM (it's available as debs - one for librpm, and one other), but you then need to make a "/var/lib/rpm" - I think; it's been a while. Then you can natively install the RPMs using rpm. However, there are no dependency checking, so it's possible to screw up some other packages this way. -- PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF Member, LEAF Project <http://leaf.sourceforge.net> AIM: MikeLeone Public Key - <http://www.mike-leone.com/~turgon/turgon-public-key.asc> Registered Linux user# 201348
