[Rule-list] RULE + RH7.2 + UPDATES ?

Hi
I agree with you that static RPMs are a good thing, but for machines whom dd can be changed to a 20 or 30 Go one for only a few bucks. But Laptops often can't do that.

Cheers

> I think this is where Marco's concept of static rpm builds could help... why not have those libs uniquely needed by the app that may not be on the box included with the app and put into /usr/local/lib.  Some libs... this won't work for (like gcc) but others (python 1.5 and 2.0 for example) can coexist.  But if you build static the application and it's lib are one.  Lousy for really low mem boxes (170mb hdd) but if the user has say a 2 gig or better, the small increase in size would make up for the hassle of finding all of those *$^&^ libs.
