    RPMs?

    I have read that RPM is a format that red hat users take advantage of, but can I install RPMs on my hard drive installed knoppix?

    How would I go about installing an RPM?

    You can use the command 'alien' - either to convert the rpm to a .deb package or to install directly:-

    alien -i package.rpm

    (the '-i' is short for '--install')

    So far, this has worked very well for me. I normally do this from the Knoppix 'root shell'

    Good luck.....
