Re: Using RPMs in Slackware

[Eric Windisch <southpark@nni.com>]

Slackware comes with a tool called rpm2tgz, which you may turn your
rpm's into tar-balls which work well with slackware's installpkg command
:)  If you would ever like to convert debian (dep) packages as well,
there is a tool called Alien which will convert between the various
formats.
