Oops! rpm -ivh no.such.file-0.0.0.rpm also gives the same error
message, so probably I was wrong to suspect permission problems. I hope
I haven't confused the issue too badly. A vfat floppy with long
filenames shows strange-looking 8.3 names if mounted as -t msdos,
typically XFree8~1.rpm or so. You can get the long names by umounting
it and mounting it -t vfat, or just use the 8.3 names as you find them.
I would not like to try to do much of anything on a *nix system without
ls -l. :-)
