Easy from the command line:
rpm2cpio {file.rpm} | cpio -ivd {file/to/extract}
I've done this several times without a hitch. It will extract the file(s) to
your current dir.
You may want to check the file & path names first, in which case:
rpm2cpio | cpio -ivt | less
pick the file(s) you want and you're set.
