Are you able to obtain the source code to the .deb package and compile it yourself? Odds are you are going to run into dependency/library problems with the debian package anyway, even if you do get alien up and running. You extract the contents of the .deb using the following: ar vx filename.deb tar xvfz data.tar.gz or ar p filename.deb data.tar.gz | tar xz You can then install it by hand or roll it into an RPM. -Mark -- Mr. Mark V.
