I realize that the WhiteBoxLinux exist.  But I would like to try and build
the AS release of Red Hat Enterprise.  I've performed the "rpmbuild" on a
number of the source rpms and I'm receiving a number of warnings related
struct's and the like.  

How did you over come these issues?  

Is there any way to list the content of a src rpm and a standard rpm? 

I've been able to over any errors so far but I have not built the kernel
yet.  What should I be concerned with as I move forward?  

Any input you may have will be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks

Louis
