And for those of you who grabbed it between when I posted that message, and now, please regrab it.
I was basing off an older version of Andres' specfile, so I updated to fix minor problems like being unable to boot due to a symlink pointing off into never never land, issues installing due to trying to setup an initrd, and while I was at it I updated the script so that if you give a second argument it's used for the 'dist' version number, defaults to 1 if nothing is given. Enjoy, and please let me know about any issues, or just about odd suggestions. Zephaniah E. Hull. On Thu, Aug 09, 2007 at 01:55:04AM -0400, Zephaniah E.
