[LINUX5250] Re: redhat 8.0 left in the cold

[TitanRebel <TitanRebel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Whoops, I forgot to mention what that does... Using the source RPM (the 
one with "src" in the name) allows you to create an RPM file for your 
specific platform.  After running the rpmbuild command, you will have to 
look near the bottom of the output (there will be a lot!), and find a 
line that tells you where it put the newly created RPM file.  I'm sorry, 
I'm not at my Linux box at the moment, so I can't tell you exactly where 
to look.  Then you can use the following command to install the new RPM 
file to your box:

rpm -Uvh <name-of-new-binary-package>

hope this helps.
