How To Extract The Contents Of An RPM File
Article By tasia

Sometimes it can be useful to extract the contents of an RPM file without actually installing it. In order to do so, use the following command: |
rpm2cpio file.rpm | cpio -idmv
Please Note: This will extract the rpm into whatever directory you are in, including all of it's sub-directories. So for example, if you change directory into / and run the command above the rpm will be extracted and files/directories placed just as if you had installed the rpm. Normally first you would want to create and change into a working directory.
