Alien is really a perl script. Therefore installing alien on your system is really easy. Go here and get the source: http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/ Extract the source (It will make a directory named alien...), enter the source directory, su to root and type all on one line: perl Makefile.PL; make; make install Hit the enter key. Once you do this, the latest version of alien will be installed on your system. Best regards Marvin Dickens
