Hello again...
Well, I think I should thank you for your reply, but I'd nervetheless like to point out the fact that in the first line of my message I clearly stated that I'm new to Linux and that a reply in the form of "Essentially, you edit the spec file, twiddle the build_xxxx macros, modify Release: field to indicate it is an 8.0 custom build, ie: by adding ".80.custom.0" to the end of the existing Release: field. Then rebuild, and you'll get dependancy failures. Rebuild each dependancy from RHL 9 or FC1 src.rpms, and install each dep. Eventually you'll get all of the 3-5 deps figured out, and can build the XFree86 rpm for RHL 8.0." is something of which most Linux newbies can't make heads or tails. Besides this, I noticed that this mailing list gets spammed over and over again with non-XFree86 related material, so I think it's time for me to quit. Regards, Danny. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
