That's what I did using yum on mdk. i586 really is the "best" value for basearch on mdk. *shrug* Just type it in. Hey Seth, How about making it equal to ``rpm --eval %_host_cpu''? That would give the correct results on every rpm-base distro/arch combo I can think of. -- Garrick Staples, Linux/HPCC Administrator University of Southern California
