I was about to post a problem rebuilding xmms from src.rpm, but I fixed 
it myself, and
just figured I should post anyway.

My complaint/issue/problem is that I installed mdk (8.2) as 'maximally' 
as the install
allowed.  I just selected every last package box in the install.

First, I was very disappointed when several packages that I normally 
use, didn't get
installed this way

cough cough hdparm, xosd, libMesaglug3-devel, gphone, etc.. etc.. etc...

Now, I discovered that both automake-1.4 and automake1.5 were installed, 
and it was
causing my 'rpm --rebuild xmms-blabla.src.rpm' to fail, until I took 1.5 
out.  I stared
in awe for awhile when I did 'rpm -q automake' and it returned -1.4, 
when doing
'automake --version' returned 1.5.

Just complaining...  Mandrake still rocks.  But it would be very nice if 
there was
a dedicated 'maximal' install path, as there is a dedicated 'minimal' 
install path.
I mean really, 4G is nothing nowadays :)  Preferably also a path that 
would prevent
me from being able to install both versions of automake simultaneously 
(maybe thats
just a bug though).
