1. In case you are new to OpenPKG and don't know what an RPM actually is: If you are starting from scratch you cannot use the .rpm files. You have to bootstrap with the openpkg-*.sh file! After this you can use the *.rpm files. See the tutorial under http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html for more details. 2. In case you are already running OpenPKG but really want to just unpack the .rpm: Use "<prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm2cpio *.rpm" to convert an .rpm into a .cpio (on stdout). For instance "<prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm2cpio *.rpm | cpio -it" shows you the content. Ralf S.
