Other Help Topics :: Howto extract RPM's



rpm2cpio foo.rpm | cpio -idmv

i really can't remember where I got this from but it works.  :p
I use p7zip for everything related to extraction, just a
7z x %file
works with many types.
There are zip tools such as Zip genius available for windows. You can use it in DSL through Wine and you can extract RPMs.

Possibly there wont be any loss of data.
Hope it runs with wine.
Not to criticize too harshly, but that sounds kinda silly.
You'd be growing an orange from an apple branch grafted onto an orange tree.

...or something like that.... =o)
It is just a method.

i meant that for use even without windows.
People having windows finds very easy to work with that and for performance it is very good.
