True enough. But if the rpmdb-redhat package is installed, you can querry all the packages shipped with the distro: $ rpm -q --dbpath /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat --whatrequires redhat-logos redhat-artwork-0.47-3 xscreensaver-4.05-6 firstboot-1.0.1-10 (Or simply 'rpm -q --redhatrequires redhat-logos') > p.s. at what point in my construction of a new distro would i be > warned about a dependency error? i'm testing a new build as we > speak, and i may deliberately introduce a dependency error just to > see what happens. As in a missing package? /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/upd-instroot defines needed packages, and will complain about a missing package. I don't recall offhand if it terminates the build, however. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+HXhtn/07WoAb/SsRAlY/AJ4viqIcXUAvEZ3xusBXBNzDXeO6FACghmDj 3OZPJF+f4zKc8TGexygL97k= =O22S -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
