In order to use apt-get under redhat you'll need to get the rpm from http://apt-rpm.tuxfamily.org/apt/redhat-extra-7.2/redhat/RPMS.extra/ and then read all of the following pages. http://apt-rpm.tuxfamily.org/ http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net/ref.html Then edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to and add #---- snip rpm ftp://ftp.mn-linux.org/linux/ apt/redhat-7.2-i386/redhat os #rpm ftp://ftp.mn-linux.org/linux/ apt/redhat-extra-7.2/redhat extra rpm ftp://ftp.mn-linux.org/linux/ apt/redhat-updates-7.2/redhat os rpm-src ftp://ftp.mn-linux.org/linux/ apt/redhat-7.2-i386/redhat os #rpm ftp://ftp.mn-linux.org/linux/ apt/redhat-extra-7.2/redhat extra rpm-src ftp://ftp.mn-linux.org/linux/ apt/redhat-updates-7.2/redhat os #----- end snip You only need the ones for the distribution you use. If you have a 6.2 box and want to upgrade to 7.2 using apt just add the 7.2 lines. Also you'll notice i have commented out the "extra" repositories, that's because those aren't apt-get ready yet. One you edit your sources.list you can run "apt-get update" as root. This will grab a set of package databases. At this point your ready to use apt to manage your rpms. Please refer to man 8 apt man 8 apt-get man 8 apt-config man 8 apt-cache man 5 apt.conf For more detailed instructions. -- Ben Lutgens http://people.sistina.com/~blutgens/ Sistina Software Inc.
