However, as I understand it, it's not possible to use apt-rpm for _any_ RPMs yet, is it? In other words, you need to point it to a repository that contains RPMs with the necessary apt metadata. Is this correct? If it is correct, what happens then if I choose to install RPMs that do _not_ have this metadata? Does it hose everything then? Anyone with enough experience with apt-rpm who could answer these questions, please? -- Nitebirdz Mozilla--> http://www.mozilla.org/ Linux XFS--> http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/ _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
