Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to do get at some files I desperately need out of RPMs that
someone has built, what I'd like to do is install them "fully" but to direct
them at believing that eg. /testrpm/ is the root directory.

Therefore if the install path in the RPM points to /var, the command must
basically direct all /var install paths to /testrpm/var/*

I hope it makes sense, bascically a chroot command to rpm.. I'm using RH 7.2
and the default RPM application it ships with. I'd also not like the RPM
database to be updated in the command. So just pulling the files out of the
package, and installing them into a dummy root path.

Thanks in Advance,

Alan J. Vink
