Here are the lines I use in /etc/apt/sources.list # Fedora Core rpm http://download.fedora.us/fedora/ fedora/1/i386 os updates rpm-src http://download.fedora.us/fedora/ fedora/1/i386 os updates # Fedora Extras (formerly "Fedora Linux") rpm http://download.fedora.us/fedora/ fedora/1/i386 stable unstable testing rpm-src http://download.fedora.us/fedora/ fedora/1/i386 stable unstable testing # Livna 3rd party packages with questionable (in USA) licenses -- use at your own risk rpm http://rpm.livna.org/ fedora/1/i386 stable unstable testing rpm-src http://rpm.livna.org/ fedora/1/i386 stable unstable testing So, all I had to do was download apt-get from: ftp://apt-rpm.tuxfamily.org/apt/redhat/9/en/i386/RPMS.extra/apt-0.5.5cnc5-fr2.i386.rpm run rpm -ivh apt-0.5.5.cnc5-fr2.i386.rpm copy the lines above into /etc/apt/sources.list and run apt-get update then run apt-get dist-upgrade Worked fine, hope you're not on dialup though, I am, and it took me 32 hours of download ;) Good luck Sturla
