Hi Stew,
Thanx for the tip on creating the src.rpm :)
Check out ramseeker.com - that's where I go for links to cheap Mac Memory. I'm not sure what kind of powerbook the lombard is, but here's an excerpt from the bottom of the page:
G4 (PC133) 16mb: | 32mb 19.00 | 64mb 6.33 | 128mb 14.00 | 256mb 26.50 | 512mb 62.50
iMac (slot loading) 16mb: | 32mb 8.00 | 64mb 6.23 | 128mb 14.00 | 256mb 27.00 512mb 62.99
PowerBook G4 16mb: | 32mb 9.00 | 64mb 13.00 | 128mb 15.94 | 256mb 44.25 | 512mb 153.00
iBook 16mb: | 32mb 7.00 | 64mb 13.00 | 128mb 15.93 | 256mb 44.25 | 512mb 825.00
if its a G4 Powerbook, $153 for 512MB doesn't seem to bad :) More than the $62.99 (I paid $69) for the iMac, but still not bad :) For my x86 laptop (Dell Latitude CPi D266XT) 128MB costs roughly $400 ... a rip-off if I've ever seen one!

Thanks Brice,
Creating the source RPM:
rpm -bs some-spec-file
You spurred me into looking to see if cheap RAM was to be had for my
Powerbook Lombard, now that I've got drive space, but it doesn't look to
be so cheap in the couple of places I looked ;^)
I'll be sure to enable high memory in the next kernel I patch up for PPC.
Thx,
Stew Benedict
