Actually, I'm not resistant to anything that will work.
I do know that flow-tools requires a patched version of cflowd and I also have 
never used Alien thus I've never created a .deb file myself......ie. I assume 
that I need the source for everything involved, arts++, cflowd, flow-tools, 
flowscan etc.  Does anyone know of a site that already has the deb file 
created?  I'm honestly up for any idea on what would work.  I did a fresh 
knoppix install this morning and started going slower and found that the arts++ 
isn't even "make"ing correctly.  Thus my probably are occuring at the very 
first step.....my order of operation has been to install in this order: arts++, 
patch cflowd then install cflowd, already have perl 5, Korn shell, rrdtool, 
perl modules - Boulder, ConfigReader:DirectiveStyle(this module seems to be 
broke on cpan and you have to move certain files to another directory 
manually), HTML::TABLE, Net::Patricia, Cflow (perl module as well) and lastly 
FlowScan.....ummm, flow-tools is in there somewhere too.

Actually, I just did an apt-get install flow-tools and apt-get install 
flowscan......I'll let you know if it works.
