Hello,
I downloaded several Debian packeges (for example Xine) and want
to install them under Suse Linux 8.0. How can i do it ? The way of
downloading the source code is too tricky for me, i always have problems
compiling the programms.
thanx for help, tostado

As far as i remember there is an rpm <-> deb converter out there. I have used it to install rpm-packages on debian, which worked without problems.... Isn suse based on rpm?

I can remember the program name, but go to http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages and search for rpm, it should be there.
