[-- Attachment #1 --] Does any one know of a way to extract an rpm without it installing into the paths that it should use but to the current directory. I have a mandrake linux package that are fonts. I tried to do: rpm -i --nodeps but it gave me the error the "the package was for a different file system." I don't understand what to do with that? Any hints? Roderick P. Person Programmer II personrp@ccbh.com "Popularity is bland."
