RE: [hobbit] Upgrading Hobbit

Oh, I understand that...I just didn't want it to install it there
(/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES).  (Good thing I wasn't root.)

I'm just going with the tarball where I have more control over the
installation process.

Thanks all!

You should be root or use sudo when installing RPMs.
