I did this and grab replaced '/etc/grab/config' with a version that had 
the erroneous comment line in it (as it was before, with "rpm opts = 
#rpm opts#"). I moved my modified config back to '/etc/grab/config' and 
it works. I forgot to mention this is a new install of RH9, not an upgrade.

I don't know for sure, as I don't know exactly what would be gained or 
lost by this change, but it may just move the possibility for error from 
'grab' to the RPM build config files. I like simplicity, so I guess I'd 
rather look at 'grab' alone for possible errors.

Please assign the lightest weight possible to my comments as I am 
relatively new to 'grab'.

Thank you much,

Troy
