Can I use fedora Core 3 rpms with Core 4 Test 1?

Title says it all..

Oh and btw what's the difference between FC3-x86_64-SRPMS-disc1.iso and FC3-x86_64-disc1.iso

Yes and no, it actually depends on the dependencies. I have managed to run some FC2 RPMS on FC3 and so assume it would be possible to run certain FC3 RPMS on FC4.

Whenever you see SRPM it signafies a Source RPM, ie not a binary but the actual source code that will be compiled when you try to install the rpm.

I would rebuild the srpms, different default gcc

Rebuild the SRPMS.
As cybrjackle said, it's a different version of gcc (FC4 uses 4.0, FC3 uses 3.something).
So, things will probably break if you don't recompile the SRPMS.

command would be

rpmbuild --rebuild program.src.rpm

I think..
If it's wrong, someone correct me.

vinneh:

the above rpmbuild command for src.rpm is correct....
