Use apt-get for installing packages on your system. Use it also to keep your system up-to-date. (-> man apt-get) To install ftpd, run "apt-get install ftpd" and that should be fine. (Run "apt-get update" before though; this is for fetching infos on available packages) > 2. Is there a way to make debian understand rpm's? If so, where can I > find info on how to do it? Use alien for that. (apt-get install alien) You can convert between rpms, debs and tgz packages. Good luck! HTH -- S. Burgener Powered by Debian GNU/Linux 2.2
