There's also the secondary problem of rpm being non-recursive. e.g. you'd have to do this from outside of a running rpm transaction, such as in the dkms_autoinstaller. DKMS couldn't do it from the proposed kernel package postinst hook that's called by the kernel RPM's %post, which is where you'd really want it to be called from. -- Matt Domsch Linux Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
