In the future, the first place to ask is always on the list for questions like this. Regarding your question, I'm not familiar with checkinstall, however, I will probably end up debianizing the tree some time in the near future using Ubuntu's current debianization as a starting point. That way you may not have to use checkinstall. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
