OK, rpm2cpio (thanks, didn't know about it) is lots more elegant than
rpm --root targetdir --relocate=targetdir --nodeps -ivh your.rpm
You don't need --relocate=targetdir
--root, in *effect*, does a chroot()
I use it to install a base system into my chroot() jails before using
/sbin/chroot to install other required elements. You certainly might
need --nodeps, depending on the RPM's requirements, since you will have
a new, empty RPMDB, and that, of course, will fail all dependencies
