I'd need to automate the process and this would make things a lot easier to deal with. I did see one example on the net where someone sent a 'define' to the rebuild command for another rpm where they specified the kernel version. Would a 'define' sent in on the command line override a define in the spec file? For instance, if I typed: rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686 --define 'buildsmp 0' kernel-2.6.x-x.y.src.rpm Thanks for your help! Alex
