[maemo-developers] How to install Xepphyr deb file on Redhat which uses rpms?

[From: Paul F. Sehorne]

To heck with yum and xephyr.  I have WinaXe on my Windows machine and I 
am successfully using it with maemo/scratchbox.....  I just set the 
DISPLAY variable in scratchbox to point to WinaXe, 192.168.2.4:0.0      
I'll get back to yum and xephyr some day.....

*Thanks* to everyone who contributed to getting me as far as I am....   
next step deploy an app on the N800...
