hi all
how can i install a deb package into fc3?
its needed as a dep for qtparted, which will install from yumex but not
the libparted which is only found, by me, as a deb package.
thanks for your help

You could try using alien to convert it into rpm, however, you should 
make sure the package contents will install where qtparted will be able 
to locate them.

    

how can i check that please?

I'd get it with yum, and then it is just a matter of alien <package.deb>, check the man page for it.
