[discuss] Back to relocating the rpms

I was finally getting back to thinking about trying to install 2.0, RC2, and what someone here (thanks!) had mentioned about giving rpm a relocation location... and realized the problem. It's *still* going to run any final scripts, and it's going to set links. Won't that screw up my use of 1.x?
