I have one that does just that for Linux@DUKE. I'll see if I can adapt

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.
Regards,
I am thinking, would it be possible to minimize this to a single binary
RPM? We should try to limit the proliferation of the millions of tiny
binary RPMS that contain very little.
The single binary RPM should not contain a separate floppy and ISO
image, but instead have a script that generates those images on-demand
from the tiny binary installed into /boot/. grub-serial is a good idea,
but why not have this single package add two grub entries?
Anyhow, just my opinion... I am interested to hear other opinions.
