An ugly way is
1) Download source rpm and install it.
2) unpack it by rpmbuild -bp
3) goto source directory, apply your patch manually
4) make

Subject: Re: [Moblin Dev] Problem with using savedefault option of GRUB in 
Moblin

hey moblin guys. Is there any way I can apply the patch mentioned by Long.
Attached is the patch but I am unable to find the source code of GRUB
0.97-48.7. I found only its rmp. Can I apply the savedefault.diff patch to
the rmp?

Need guidance.

Thanks.
