converting .deb to rpm (Here is the answer...)

[Marvin Dickens]

Alien is really a perl script. Therefore installing alien on your system
is really easy. Go here and get
the source:

http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/


Extract the source (It will make a directory named alien...), enter the
source directory, su to root
and type all on one line:

perl Makefile.PL; make; make install


Hit the enter key. Once you do this, the latest version of alien will be
installed on your system.


Best regards
