-   I clearly understand that this is a newbie question that has most likely been asked many times. however, at the moment i am having trouble finding the answer.

I have a src.rpm. what do i do with it.
step by step. newbie style

and also maybe i should be pointed in the direction of a newbie FAQ. a GOOD one

-   Well, you could just do:

# rpm --rebuild name.src.rpm

Then install the RPM that it creates, which will be located in '/usr/src/RPMS'

But my question for you is _why_ are you trying to rebuild a src rpm?

-   You could try GtkHx -

I'd also recommend gtk-gnutella and mldonkey. Both are available from http://plf.zarb.org

I'll take a look at your other question when I get a chance.
