I didn't keep very good records, I'm afraid. The process started off 
with me running something similar to the following script on Friday 
night, and leaving it running over the weekend:

#!/bin/bash
for srpm in /scratch/yarrow/SRPMS/*
do
        rpm --rebuild $srpm
done

Quite simple, really. I then took a look at what was left in 
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS and began playing. You'll need to clean up the 
SOURCES and BUILD directories regularly though, unless you've got an 
awful lot of disk space.

The best guide I can suggest is to take a look at the timestamps on the 
packages in ftp://genuine-article.maths.monash.edu.au/pub/RPMS/ and 
work from there if you want to try to recreate the path I took.

All my SRPMS for currently built packages can be found at 
ftp://genuine-article.maths.monash.edu.au/pub/SRPMS/ - the ones that 
are modified from the Yarrow distribution have "al1" (or "al2" or 
whatever) appended to the release version. Mostly the adjustments are 
very small.

Oh - I also have all my "gcc", "g++" and other commands symlinked to 
"gcc3", "g++3" and the others that came from the RedHat 7.2 
distribution. I did start out using 2.96, but didn't get very far. :) 
Now I don't think much more than I've already done is going to build 
until I can get the gcc and glibc packages built.
