Hi, It's been a while since I fiddled with ConsoleOne, but I converted the necessary .rpms into .deb (with "alien -c") and after that it was as simple as dpkg -i *.deb from that directory.
I can start ConsoleOne and it reacts when I click with my mouse. Unfortunately that's all it does. My Novell colleague is working out what goes wrong now :) Greetings, Hans
