The bottom line is the rpmbuild command you already used and I also always use the --target flag, either with i386 or in some cases (kernel and glibc) also with i686, athlon, etc. When rebuilding a src.rpm, use --rebuild with the src.rpm i.s.o. specifying a spec file. There is no "bootstrap" needed, as long as you have a working bootstrap system (you have FC3 and RHEL3 rebuilders use a public beta). For RHEL3, there is the problem that not everything build at the first run and you have to install some generated packages first, before building others. When rebuilding a completely available distro, this should not be the case. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
