[ale] RPMS

[lisk at mindspring.com]

	Can anyone help me with this simple question?  I want to know if you can 
use RPMS from one distribution with another.  For example.  I have SuSE 7.0 
professional that someone gave me and there are a couple of packages  I 
would like to use on my computer running Red Hat 7.2.  So far I've not been 
able to find the answer to this specific question, so any help would be 
greatly appreciated.

	My suspicion is that files would get installed in strange  places if the 
packages aren't used with the distro for which it was intended, but I"m not 
sure.

	Thanks in advance
	John Lisk
