Yea, that is usually how I do it, but don't know why I didn't do it for that 
one.  The reason I say that they are a pain to make is because its not easy 
to pick up.

Ok I ran into anther problem this time it is in the %install section, 
everything is fine until it is told to create this hardlink:
+ 
ln /var/tmp/kenesis-0.1alpha2-build/usr/kenesis-0.1alpha2/kenesis.pl 
/usr/bin/kenesis
ln: creating hard link `/usr/bin/kenesis' => 
`/var/tmp/kenesis-0.1alpha2-build/usr/kenesis-0.1alpha2/kenesis.pl': 
Permission denied
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.56635 (%install)


RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.56635 (%install)
mount: can't find / in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
md: stopping all md devices.

is that not allowed?
