I've got a quick question before I sit down with bundles of SRPMS....
If you take a standard srpm and rebuild it, will it automatically
notice the hardware you're on and adjust appropriately? Like shifting
from a vanilla 386 build to a 686 build?
I figure the kernel, X, glibc, and xmms would be the biggest wins..... :-)
