I suppose I could do either of those if the srpm headers are that
important.

I simply figured I might as well use the latest "version" of 3.0.  I
personally frequently do FTP installs as not all the old parts boxes I
throw together have a CD drive, and it can save time by not requiring me
to babysit and play "swap the CD" during the install.  Why install 3.0
when you can install 3.0-respin1?
