Richard, Perhaps the easiest way to learn/do what you need would be to grab the src rpm for the mandrake version. Do rpm -Uvh xxxx.src.rpm and go to /usr/src/RPM/SPECS and using that spec file modify it (like changing version numbers etc.) and play with it to create an MDK quality spec file and rpm. james
