What exactly are the SRPMS downloads as compared to i386…I know what
RPMs are [how could I not] but what are these other files?
The SRPMS contain the source files needed to recompile the programs
available in the i386 isos. You can use rpmbuild --rebuild
somepackage.src.rpm or you can use rpm -ivh packagename.src.rpm , then
edit the .spec file so you can end up with a rpm file with some specific
options (like I used to do with the amanda packages , as it uses the
amanda user , but we had a real user called amanda.. so I had to rebuild
the rpms with the backup user...)..
If you dont like recompiling , then you'll only need the i386 cds..
