Re: .deb File Install

Can anyone be so kind as to tell me how to install .deb files on
Fedora 9? I would greatly appreciate it.

It's not really possible or recommended to install .deb packages on
Fedora. They were built for another distro. Instead, you should look
for something built for Fedora 9 as an rpm.

Explain in a little more detail why you want to do this and what
particular .deb you have in mind and perhaps we can help you better.
