yes it works fine... hamm has kept libc5 and works fine with libc5 binaries. just be sure to install the latest libc5 from hamm (its in oldlibs) hell...I have noticed talk on debian-devel....it looks like hamm might even end up with libc4 support (not: im not involved with this...just noticed allot of talk about it and people experimenting with it) BTW I find it is best with RPMs to convert them to tarballs and then extract the tarball intot adirectory and instal it by hand locally I don't like the idea of just translating an RPM into a deb...too many potential problems -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------ */ A favorite quote from a source I forget: "Only Microsoft can take an algorithim that has been under years of public scrutiny and weaken it to the point where the entire key space can be searched in 3 days" -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
