1. go to the source section of your favorite Debian mirror
2. for each package you want to recompile, download the *.orig.tar.gz,

Personally I always found dpkg easier than RPM for building packages,

IIRC all it took to build SRPMS is one single rpm command.
I've never used redhat (or anything else with rpms), but I kind of like
the *bsd method, which gives you a

You should be able to install just the packages required for it (often
just the package itself) - there's no need to switch completely to

You could still get the unstable source packages and build the deb

Hello,
Thanks to everyone who offered help.
The LyX 1.0.1 from potato will install with no problems on slink. I also
