Re: Package Converter
maybe you could right mouse click on the .deb/.rpm and convert it to xzm using context menu actions?
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Re: Package Converter
Packageconverter is a frontend for alien. It seems to be available only in the rpm and deb binary forms.
https://code.google.com/p/foxoman/downloads/list
Alien Slackware version is at:
ftp://ykbsb2.yk.psu.edu/pub/alien/alien-extra.tgz
To use alien, you will need several other programs.
- perl version 5.004 or greater
- rpms (the Red Hat Package Manager)
- dpkg, dpkg-dev, and debhelper (version 3 or above) on http://packages.debian.org
- bzip2 (for stampede packages)

Re: Package Converter
As fanthom suggested, use your GUI right click menu. No black magic involved. From your file manager just right click on the rpm/deb file. There should be an option there to convert to .xzm. Unless you have a particular need to convert files into deb/rpm in Porteus, I see no reason this isn't suitable enough.I have only bad memories of the "dark" ages before the GUI.
