I do find however that you can often grab the SRPMS from FC3 sites and recompile them up for RHELv4. :)

For most packages, it will be always easy to grab SRPM from FC and recompile (I was doing it for RH 7.3 when its life cycle ended). However, year or two down the road, there will be more and more packages that would need manual tweaking of spec files to recompile. Been there, done that. -- Aleksandar Milivojevic <amilivojevic@pbl.ca> Pollard Banknote Limited Systems Administrator 1499 Buffalo Place Tel: (204) 474-2323 ext 276 Winnipeg, MB R3T 1L7
