no worries. If you're wondering what a particular part of /bin belongs |
| 13 |
to what package, emerge app-portage/gentoolkit and then use "equery |
| 14 |
belongs /bin/something" so find out. |

As far as I recall for Fedora (haven't used it in a while) what you |
| 23 |
download as a src.rpm is already patched the way Fedora has compiled it |
| 24 |
to make the rpm. I don't know about the others, but I assume all binary |
| 25 |
distro's would be the same or similar... |
