at http://jopa.studentenweb.org/debian/ , you can find the package source I use to create blackdown packages. just download the latest .bin from your nearest blackdown mirror, rename it to 386 instead of 586 (or use a symlink), put it in the untarred source dir and a simple 'debuild' will do the rest. (of course you won't be able to sign the package without changing the Maintainer field) hope this helps, -- Joris
