Never heard of such a beast. If you're working on a single box, clear yourself some disk space (or buy a new disk), install a base Debian system, copy over your user files ($HOME), and rock'n'roll. You'll want to check and configure your network and hardware settings, might be useful to keep the RH configuration around until you're comfortable with that. In my own case, I use chroot to mount a 'debian jail' under a working RedHat system, while configuring Debian. When I was close to ready, I booted with either a boot floppy or lilo prompt options to the new partition. When all set, I started nuking RH partitions and expanding Debian across them. This all last year. Took me about six weeks (working in littles) to get Debian worked out the way I wanted it, but I had a live system the whole time. Neat hat trick. -- Karsten M.
