[Xastir] rpm

[Mike Fenske]

Thanks all for the info. I'll give it a try. I am running SuSE 7.3 on both
computers, although 2.4 kernel on Laptop, 2.2 on desktop. In the past, I
just copied the executable and other files over manually and it worked
fine, I just thought an rpm would be easier.
Thanks again,
Mike Fenske
