I really changed the files, but forgot to update the sources files, and then the config files are in my rpm/SOURCES dir and not in the SRPM :( As a bonus, -5mdk has lba48 fixes & a riva fb patch for ppc (thanks go to stew not me). ian> And the config names for PPC and Alpha aren't named properly.

Surprise, ppc has now an enterprise kernel.

You wouldn't release a SRPM that doesn't compile on x86 (other ian> than something platform specific like MOL). He sent me the patches, but I had alredy started the compilation game. Patches are in -5mdk, sorry for the inconveniences. Later, Juan. -- In theory, practice and theory are the same, but in practice they are different -- Larry McVoy
