XFree86.spec, is an RPM spec file used for building the Red Hat Linux XFree86 packages. It is not part of XFree86 itself. You can obtain the specfile from the XFree86-4.1.0-3.src.rpm package on the Red Hat Linux SRPMS CD, or our ftpsite, or from ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/bleeding-edge Hope this helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike A.
