Re: [cobalt-users] Question Per RPM's + Raq 3

["Ben Liddicott" <ben.liddicott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think you need make at all if you use a binary RPM. Generally, I think RPMs can be either source or binaries. Binaries are
much less painful.

Use http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ to find a suitable RPM to install.

Cheers,
