[newbie] Where Can I find cdrtools packages v1.11a19 or newer
Having rebuilt cdrtools-1.11a20-1.src.rpm, all new files are :- /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/cdrtools-cdda2wav-1.11a20-1.i586.rpm /cdrtools-cdrecord-1.11a20-1.i586.rpm /cdrtools-libscg-1.11a20-1.i586.rpm /cdrtools-mkisofs-1.11a20-1.i586.rpm and they have installed flawlessly, I think. Now I need to add xcdroast, but everytime I go to install xcdroast-0.98-16mdk.i586.rpm , mandrake insists on me incerting disks 1 and 2 , to reinstall what I don't want, this despite having downloaded the install version rather than using the distro supplied version. I suspect I need to delete some entry somewhere in some software list so that I am free to complete the install, if so what, or what do you do. regards, John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have read the thread but am not really sure what you are trying to accomplish. If all you wish to do is to rebuild the src.rpm then dl the rpm to your home directory. Open a term and su to root. # cd /home/charles # rpm -rebuild cdrtools-1.11a20-1.src.rpm (be forewarned I can almost guarantee that you are going to need to install additional -devel pkgs before you can rebuild.) When/if the build successfully completes the 'new' cdrtools-1.11a20-1.rpm can be found in /usr/src/RPM/RPMS in the direc. for your system default builds, most likely i586. Only thing necessary now is to install it. Charles Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Where Can I find cdrtools packages v1.11a19 or newer
Your current sources directory is "/root/Desktop/". I would not recommend installing it from there. Create another directory called cdrtools like so root# mkdir /cdrtools root# cd /cdrtools root# cp /root/Desktop/cdr* . then continue as previously advised. I think the new directory should be created somewhere like /usr/share to conform to standard. If i am wrong i will get my ass kicked quick!

On 9 Apr 2002, Damian wrote: I don't know this package...what does it do anyway? About the packages .src and tarball: I rather prefer to install from rpm but, if you find a tarball with the file 'specs' inside, just get "alien" and it will transform the original tarball into .rpm. But when it has to be compiled, for any reason, I really prefer the tarball, because the first one will be a 'generic' install and the compiled one would be the best fit for each and every machine.

Re: [newbie] Where Can I find cdrtools packages v1.11a19 or newer
Thank you Damian, That explains it. I did not know about src at all. Two further questions, If I choose to compile a tar ball, can I turn the compiled file into an rpm file, and if so how, If I choose to compile the src rpm file, rather than compile a tar ball, which is likely to be best. Is there a question of installabillity , between one computer over another computer, assuming they both have the same base OS. In otherwords are there pros and cons between either route.
