google to the rescue - searching for rpm extract . . . How to extract a file from a rpm package http://linux-sxs.org/rpmextract.html According to Peck Dickens: 1) The easiest way is to use Midnight Commander to navagate into the RPM and then copy the file out that you are interested in. 2) Another method is to do it at the command line using the following commands: cd /tmp md rpmtmp cd rpmtmp rpm2cpio {FullNameOfRPM} | cpio -iumd {FullNameOfFileToExtract} Be sure to clean up after you. According to Pam Roberts: 3) You can use rpm-get, which is in rpm-utils-1.5-1.noarch.rpm from your friendly local rpmfind.net and installs without any problems. -- When a computer person is asked to fix a machine | www.tetrica.com /\ the first thing they will do is download updates | design, science / \ for all of the programs that you have installed. | philosophy, art/____\ Paul Wilkins, 32a Euston Street, Christchurch, New Zealand, (03)942-3097
