I use Debian Sid, which is similar though not identical to Ubuntu. I haven't tried to make a .deb file, which seems like an unnecessary complication. I simply got the tarball from suckless.org, unpacked it in my bome directory, and did "sudo make install" which went off without problems. The executable is installed in /usr/local/bin by default. There is a precompiled dwm.deb package available for Debian, but of course that doesn't let you configure anything, so it's really only useful if you just want to see how dwm works. -- Anthony Campbell - a...@acampbell.org.uk Microsoft-free zone - using Linux http://www.acampbell.org.uk - book reviews, articles, blog, and printed books and ebooks
