a) The version of rpm used under Mandrake 7.1 is too early to
allow installation or rebuilding from</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=360324308-04062002>I have not got
the Mandrake 7.0x distro for i486 but would suggest that both the above

confirm/refute this for the benefit of others.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
