Hi Scott, Bruno, Thanks for all the tips/help!
I found what was causing this problem (for me). Apparently, I ran the build script I use for the webtutorials and example programs as root and that created a .rpmmacros file in /root. When I removed that file, the uname issue and the "can't create file in ... INSTALL .. rpm-tmp.nnnn" message also went away and I can create liveCD's again. I apologize for taking up everyone's time with this, but I appreciate the tips which pointed me down the path to find the .rpmmacros mistake I made. Thanks again, Jim G.
