Others have tried to port rpm, but there is no easy way to do this. More easy is to improve setup.exe. This is what is done by some freetime developers here. The latest released setup is just two weeks old (I guess) and I'm sure it will get better and better from release to release. If you can't wait, grab the source and try to figure out what could be done. Gerrit -- convey Information Systems GmbH http://www.convey.de/ Vitalisstraße 326-328 Gerrit P.
