~ DELL supports only RedHat and Suse (and Windows ...) and I was able to update my BIOS basically from a Debian-based live CD using the steps provided here: ~ http://www.ducea.com/2007/08/27/dell-bios-firmware-updates-on-debian/ ~ Now I would to have the kind of management that ESM and OMSA allows, but the installer is complainign about missing rpm packages ~ I know I can use alien to convert rpm to deb packages and I did seach for such packages even though I couldn't find them, I still think there might be something like that in Debian ~ If there isn't. Is there such thing as a mapping of the functionality of rpm and deb packages? ~ I think I will need to install ~ rpm, pciutils, libc, libdl, libm. libc. libpthread, /bin/sh, srvadmin-omilcore, srvadmin-ipmi, srvadmin-hapi ~ Of course I' wish I would use debian packages ... ~ Any suggestions? ~ Thank you lbrtchx
