It still supports these normal options: 1. If you wish to just unpack the sources: rpm -Uvh some-package.src.rpm 2. If you wish to build an rpm straight off with the src: rpmbuild --rebuild some-package.src.rpm 3. After you have done number 1 and then cd'ed into the SPEC dir: rpmbuild -ba some-package.spec 4. Using a tarball with a spec file included: rpmbuild =ta some-tarball-package.tar.gz Hope that helps Mark > I've read through all 4 RH8.0 > books that come with the RH8.0 Professional distribution.
