I guess the real question is what you're trying to do. If you want to extract the contents of a .deb archive but you're not actually interested in using dpkg for your system, you could simply use dpkg -x. If you wish to use dpkg, you could probably just create an empty status file to get started - but the real question in this case is why you're not starting with a Debian base. > Please advise me, anyone who's ever ported debian to ARM linux. Yes, Debian fully supports ARM. What are you trying to do exactly, and which ARM platform are you on? -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
