sudo apt-get install alien

3. Create a debian package from the rpm:
sudo alien LimewireLinux.rpm

4. Install the debian package:
sudo dpkg -i limewire-free_{version-number}_i386.deb

There should be an entry in the programs menu if you are using KDE or Gnome. You will also be able to start limewire by typing "limewire" in the terminal.

Enjoy!

Hey 'Zab'!

When I download the rpm, am I suppose to choose "open with archive manager" or "save to disk"?

Either way, heres the response from the terminal after typing:

CODE: sudo alien LimewireLinux.rpm

File "LimeWireLinux.rpm" cannot be found

Im stuck here!

And 'Gaurdian'!

The zip installation went fine EXCEPT...

after refreshing the gnome panel, LimeWire still never shows up in Applications>internet menu!

CRAP!!
