>From the package names you get, it's obvious which arch the build is for. If you were to distribute something with .i686.rpm, you would know it was i686, and if that's ok, that's great. If not, you rebuild it for the arch you want to distribute for.

It's not hard for even semi-newbies (basically those who get to the stage that they can read a manpage) to figure out how to rebuild packages. It's definately not a gurus only thing. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New DSL Internet Access from SBC & Yahoo! http://sbc.yahoo.com
