You can also build a source RPM without the install step using: rpmbuild -ba cvs-1.11.10-cvshome.org.1.src.rpm or rpm --rebuild cvs-1.11.10-cvshome.org.1.src.rpm depending on which version of Linux you have. Newer RedHats have rpmbuild, SuSE and Mandrake (I believe) have 'rpm --rebuild'. - Rob -- Robert J.
