Good Idea except Mepis uses .deb packages not rpm.

Hi Warren/Mepis development team
I have a suggestion to simplify installation
of RPM packages so that one can install them
simply by clicking a .rpm file.

In Control Center/KDE Components/File Associations/Application
where x-rpm is located. .rpm is setup to be run with Kpackage,
which doesn't work. Kpackage should be removed from Application
preference order and replaced with alien, and edit the
command so it says as such:
alien -i -v %U ; echo ; echo Done

It should also be set up to run in terminal and not to close
when command exits and to run as root.
It works like a charm :)


Haven't you ever installed something which came as rpm on your machine?

Yes I used alien to convert to .deb
