I don;t know if you can convert other distro's RPM's, but when I install new stuff now I never use RPM's, you can almost always find a .tgz as well, and they give much more predictable results.

Cliff, that brings up something I have wondered. How do you uninstall something installed via untar. With Yast/RPM it seems straightforward, but .tgz? -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris "All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
