rpmbuild options can be set as described here http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Upgrading#rpmbuild, but that's for adding additional options, not for changing ones that are set by the script. I'm not sure what would happen if you were to specify a (conflicting) parameter there. You're looking to override the --with= parameter that's set by the qtp-whatami script. The best way I can think of to do that would be to fake out the qtp-whatami script into thinking that your OS is ok: # echo "Fedora Core release 6" >/etc/fedora-faked-release Then edit the qtp-whatami script, at or near line #115, change release_info=`cat /etc/fedora-release 2>/dev/null` to release_info=`cat /etc/fedora-faked-release 2>/dev/null` You can then run qtp-whatami from the CLI, and it should report fdr60. -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
