I am not sure it is possible in the general case. I have done it a couple of times - once for pnet, and one for converting Red Hat kernel rpm's to Debian kernal RPM's. You can find both under here: http://www.lubemobile.com.au/ras/debian A copy of the pnet conversion utility is in each of the pnet source .deb's. It is called: build-debian-packages.sh. The Red Hat kernel converter is a separate packet called kern2deb. It is also a shell script. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
