Well if you're trying to install Aegis to a live cd then unfortunately that won't work. You'll need an hdd install before you can install anything to it. You can however convert .rpm's to .debs w/ alien.
alien --to-deb <pkg.rpm>
dpkg -i <pkg.deb>
Dunno if that was much help.....

Well... I wouldn't say that. See http://klik.berlios.de/
Is there a URL for the .rpm?

Ah well I *might* have known that if the author of klik cared about xfce4 users. ;)
