Re: 'Metacity' upgrade

Hello all,

by trying to set: 'rpm -ba /usr/src/.../metacity.spec' i got the message 
'-ba : unknown option. So i looked for 'man rpm' by "RedHat 8.0" and so 
( i hoped) to 'touch' a new file named 'popt' in '/etc'. But i get the 
same answer by 'rpm -ba /...'.
Cause i'm sitting (try) to manage enable the 'options ide-cd dma=1' for 
what i had to add to '/etc/modules.conf' for playing 'dvd'; that is why 
i'm hopping for an update, which may be could change the situation. With 
that line (options ide-cd ...) in '/etc/modules.conf' and a new start 
may be next day, either the 'gnome-panel' is lost or the 'redhat-logo' 
stand still on the desktop and no icons are visible ...! So when i take 
out this line in '/etc/modules.conf' 'startx' is available again.

For a little help i wopuld be glad!
