unpacking .rpm file?

[John Chambers]

| Try:
|     rpm2cpio foo.rpm | cpio -idv
|
| --andrew
| P.S. It looks like RedHat changed .rpm format between rh6.2 and rh7.0,
|      you might need the 'latest and greatest' rpm binary.

Thanks. This seems to have worked. I guess the version that I have is
new enough.  Somehow I'd never noticed the rpm2cpio program.  I guess
someone else noticed a missing option in the rpm command.
