Sorry, I'm stuck on the word 'installed'.

I 'installed' the 0.9.0-44  RPM that you made and provided via the
Planet a few days ago. However, it appears that these instructions ask
me to 'install' it a second time:

rpm -bb alsa-driver-0.9.0-44.spec 
rpm -Uvh ../RPMS/i386/alsa-driver*0.9.0-44.i386.rpm <-INSTALL
rpm -bb alsa-lib-0.9.0-44.spec 
rpm -Uvh ../RPMS/i386/alsa-lib-0.9.0-44.i386.rpm <-INSTALL
rpm -bb alsa-utils-0.9.0-44.spec 
rpm -Uvh ../RPMS/i386/alsa-utils-0.9.0-44.i386.rpm <-INSTALL
rpm -bb alsa-tools-0.9.0-44.spec 
rpm -Uvh ../RPMS/i386/alsa-tools-0.9.0-44.i386.rpm  <-INSTALL

This is what I'm confused about.

If I did just these steps:

rpm -bb alsa-driver-0.9.0-44.spec 
rpm -bb alsa-lib-0.9.0-44.spec 
rpm -bb alsa-utils-0.9.0-44.spec 
rpm -bb alsa-tools-0.9.0-44.spec 

Then this would be illegal and would not work?

I _MUST_ do the 8 steps above, in that order, to get this to work?

If it's not clear, what I'm worried about is the next step. I patch the
Also code and build a new RPM. Do I need to have the NEW RPM's go
through the 8 step process above exactly? (I think so.)

If so, and I already have the Planet's version of Alsa installed, won't
I have some kind of problem trying to install a new one with the same
name?

Don't worry about the errors I've seen so far. Let's just work on making
this clear and then I'll do it again correctly.

Thanks much,
Mark
