It's not really possible or recommended to install .deb packages on
Fedora.  They were built for another distro.  Instead, you should look
for something built for Fedora 9 as an rpm.

Explain in a little more detail why you want to do this and what
particular .deb you have in mind and perhaps we can help you better.
