Maybe I misinterpreted things... > naw, we tried to help him on IRC, most people there are very helpful. the problem we had was that conversation with this guy was heading up the troll-scale so fast and so high, that it really just regressed into noise. he was pointed at the .src.rpm 5 times, but his mindset of building out of kernel-devel instead was hard to shake off ( he carried that with him into the mailing list ). I recall being pointed at a few kernel tarballs that had been built out of this said kernel-devel package even! looking into one package it turned out to be the kernel built on Johnny's machines. *shrug* its a no issue as far as i am concerned, this guy does not know about centos or how its setup, we can try and tell him - whatever info he takes away with him, is upto him. but if he is going to be a problem and troll, he is going to get the +q treatment, just as anyone else does. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
