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?
