I do not suggest to use Fedora binary packages, but I propose to use the Fedora src.rpm's as a base (often this is ok) for a proper new CentOS/RHEL package for your own use. Or what else? Is just running ./confugure; make; make install (and not using RPMs at all) better than taking a Fedora src.rpm to start with? -- -- Jos Vos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
