Re: rebuilding anaconda-9.0-4 src

["Alexander Rau" <alex rau ca>]

Since I like the idea of my changes being portable I want to try my luck
using your patch method.

I followed your instructions and everything went fine until

rpmbuild -ba anaconda.spec

I get the following error:

error: No patch number 1

Which folder shoud I be in? According to your description I am in cd
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS

Thanks

AR
