No, you don't need SRPMS, but you do need a LOT more RPMS. [stew@rs6000 RPMS]$ du -h . 2.3G . And you definitely want glibc. 800MB is nowhere near a full respository of the typical 3 CDs of main. When you run gendistrib (you did do this right?), look at the output. You need to decide whether the messages it gives (if any) are important. PS: you don't need to CC me - I read the list and I get LOTS of mail already, I don't need two copies of everything.
