OK so I gave up on Mandrake Corporate Server and went with Mandrake 8 as my starting platform. However MDK come with RPM 4.0 and to put together the source rpms it says I need 4.0.2. I noticed 4.0.3 is in cooker but when I try to upgrade just rpm through software manager it wants to upgrade half my damn system! Why do I need to upgrade alsa libs and another 20 or so irrelevant things to put a newer version of rpm on my computer? Is their an solution to this? Michael D.
