fakeroot alien --to-deb --scripts --keep-version vz*.rpm ploop*.rpm
4. Install debs.
dpkg -i vz*.deb ploop*.deb
If you're having problem about overwriting files from other packages, try adding --force-overwrite option.
5. Modify /boot/grub/menu.lst. See “configuring the bootloader” of Quick installation.
