A friend of mine told me Debian takes Red Hat drivers and to install it as simply as: rpm -ivh package_name. This must be news for you, so maybe I, through my friend, am contributing something. :o)
Wow! You're right; I didn't know about the rpm command being on Debian. But sure enough, it's on my box, and the man page says indicates that it'll install rpms.
Cool. Kent
