The detailed way:

http://www.rpm.org/RPM-HOWTO/build.html
I know the detailed way, but the notes I saw were a little more distilled.
I dont know about those.
But If you're talking about a tool blindly doing the work for you, I
dont think it would be a good idea to use them...
NOt so much doing the work for me as starting me off a little further

Perhaps you're thinking of "checkinstall"?
Paul.
Yep that's it. That finally clicked it for me. Thanks.
