Seems I have learn't a new trick today, but you must excuse the stupidty here, The rpmmacro I was actually looking for was the one to solve dependancies on a directory, it is pretty cool, I reloaded today and lost it. I normally copy my apt archive directory to the server and when I preload machines I copy the macro to /root folder, the my script that runs does an rpm -Uvh --aid <selected packages> and rpm -ivh --aid <other packages> and this way all the packages i plonk in that directory are automatically installed on each new machine. I will still need your macro however that will be later this week. When I learn to replace certian rpms within the distro. I am working on an oem for Proline computers, we will be the first major company in SA that can offer the relevant service and support for Linux. And we are launching a Christmas special with PCs Preloaded. My Job is to add all our logos to Fedora and thats why we need to rebiuld some RPMS. very exiting :-> Later -- Chadley Wilson Redhat Certified Technician Cert Number: 603004708291270 Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================
