Installing Nero Linux Trial.

I'm trying to install Nero Linux on my computer (Ubuntu 7.10), but the installation file is .rpm. I tried using alien to convert it to .deb, but it gives me this:

Code:

joe@flamingchainsaws:~$ sudo alien -d /home/joe/NEROLINUX/nerolinux-3.5.1.0-x86.rpm
Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package nerolinux: postinst postrm prerm
Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts.
mkdir: cannot create directory `nerolinux-3.5.1.0': File exists
unable to mkdir nerolinux-3.5.1.0:  at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package.pm line 257.
joe@flamingchainsaws:~$ /home/joe/NEROLINUX/nerolinux-3.5.1.0-x86.rpm

I tried using the --scripts command, but it didn't do anything:

Code:

joe@flamingchainsaws:~$ sudo alien -d /home/joe/NEROLINUX/nerolinux-3.5.1.0-x86.rpm --scripts
mkdir: cannot create directory `nerolinux-3.5.1.0': File exists
unable to mkdir nerolinux-3.5.1.0:  at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package.pm line 257.
joe@flamingchainsaws:~$

Any help is much appreciated.

Unless you need nero for something specific, I think you should try k3b which is a burning application for linux and IMHO its just as good if not better then nero, and its free.

Sorry, I just noticed the DEB file available for download.
