OK, see:
http://www.phy.duke.edu/~icon/RPMS/memtest86/memtest86+-1.00-1.src.rpm
It builds three packages:
memtest86+-grub
memtest86+-grub-serial
memtest86+-utils
The first two are obvious. The third one installs a floppy image and
an iso image into /usr/lib/memtest86+ and provides a small utility
for creating bootable floppies and CDs. Example:
memtest-make --floppy=/dev/fd0
memtest-make --cddev=1,0,0
I've only compiled and tested this on RH-9, but I doubt there will
be any issues on FC1 and above, but I would be happy to accept
problem reports. One thing I noticed is that it doesn't build if
-mcpu=i686 is given, so this is limited to -march=i386.
Hope this is useful.
