And even more surprisingly, the required bare packages have been bundled somewhere else too. And you certainly can get one of a number of rpm2cpio scripts and unpack the whole RPMS/SRPMS wherever you want. SRPMs contain the original sources plus patches and a SPEC file with configuration/compilation instructions. -- Horst von Brand vonbrand@sleipnir.valparaiso.cl Casilla 9G, Viña del Mar, Chile +56 32 672616
