That is the way that things are. RH7 uses rpm4 while LM7.2 and below use rpm3.0.5 or
less. If you have a Pentium-class computer of 233MHz or more, you shouldn't quip about
compiling from source. Besides doing that, optimizes the code for your particular
system! That is like dinning out or cooking in for the evening. I don't know about
you, but I haven't found a restaurant that can match my tastes and nuances, yet.
