Can anyone recommend a good guide to rpmbuild (along the lines of the
old Mandrake RPM HOWTO)? In particular I need information on building
RPMs from source tarballs.

Is there a nice little pdf file of this to be had anywhere ?

Yep,
Go to the site ....press <CTRL> and <P>...Then choose "print to file...".
Then if you insist on a .pdf : "ps2pdf print.ps"
I bet you already knew that, heh:)

Good luck,
HarM
 

I did sort of know that HarM,
but it doesn't work out for me.
Ctr + P gives me the print window interface all right.
but I only have a choice of PostScript/default
which gives me a blank .ps file to look at.
I don't have any of those pdf choices to play with.
I gusess then the question is how to get
those choices in mozilla ?
I do have pdf viewers installed.
Normally I just download a pdf file and click on it.
Then read the doc.
