Thanks. I tried to to find the 4.1.24 RPM under http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/
but this redirects me to http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi which offers 4.1.29 and no RPM. Where should I really be looking?

I'd sugest: - download TC-4.1.24 RPMs and install them - study it, see how it arranges files, permissions, etc... - configure your own TC 4.1.29 accordingly - or just (carefully) "paste" 4.1.29 over existing 4.1.24 RPM install Setting up TC correctly or, even more, building your own RPMs can be very time consuming. The layout of 4.1.24 RPMs seams OK to me. There is a site, JPackage, I think, which has newer RPMs, but they have moved other packages from TC into separate ones (JavaMail, JDBC-ext,...), so getting it all together is not easy. Plus they have their own dependencies, which I couldn't provide on Mandrake.
