Using RPM on Debian
I've got some software that I'd like to install on my Debian Sarge box. I can't get it in source, so I can't compile it, and it is only made available in binary form as RMP. What is the best/easiest way to convert an RPM to a Deb? Can I install RMP on my Debian machine, or is there a conversion utility? Thanks, Scott Huey

Thanks, Scott Huey The 'alien' package can convert rpms to debs for you. See the manpage for more info. HTH, Michael Spang -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
