If not, check the debian site to see if it is in another version of debian. If not, ask here if a debian version exists somewhere else! if all else fails, use 'alien'! -Kev PS. there is also a way you can help debian. if you think this software is important to you, you can ask that some debian developer consider making a brand new .deb of this software! It may be something other debian users would want. - -- (__) (oo) /--\/ / ||| * /\---/\ ~~ ~~ "Have you mooed today?"... -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBHF6kAWAAuqdWA9cRAvfMAJwNvxD0u8/UEtWsJf+dM4T+tznb5gCePrd1 n6Y1qG1LVTqEpnye823roEQ= =Kyh0 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have 2 rpm packages that I want to install on a Sarge system. Can someone give me a hint or a link as to how to do that. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
