I just tried installing the RedHat CDE package into a Debian unstable system. It was compiled with an oldish version of libc5 and not libc6 which the unstable release is based on. I was successful in converting the rpm files to deb files using alien. Unfortunately, when I tried to start CDE using dtlogin, I received a core dump. I received no response from RedHat technical support. Its a real pity that Debian doesn't have support for the primary window enviornment used by all commercial UNIX vendors. Maybe we should try to work directly with TriTeal, the suppliers of CDE for RedHat, a seperate package for Debian. -- Jean Pierre -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
