To install djbdns, just do rpm -Uvh daemontools-0.76-2memphis.i386.rpm \ ucspi-tcp-0.88-003memphis.i386.rpm \ djbdns-1.05-001memphis.i386.rpm If you want to install any of the "run" packages from a tarball, you need to start with reading dt-run.README. Those installing any of the "run" rpms should *first* read dt-run.rpm.INSTALL. The patched version of the src rpm for ucspi-tcp contains the rss patch which makes rblsmtpd work with A records if needed. When I have time, I will write clearer, and more detailed directions.
