Can you explain this a bit, I am very > new to redhat. (this is on RH7.2- Enigma) "man cpio" *grin* cpio is not specific to Red Hat Linux. ;) Really, rpm2cpio gives you access to a cpio archive inside the rpm. Try something like mkdir test ; cd test rpm2cpio glibc-2.3.2-27.9.i686.rpm | cpio -id --no-absolute-filenames to extract the files inside. You could also extract them within your top-level directory and overwrite what's installed. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/IXGW0iMVcrivHFQRAhFOAKCCdWIgaoQwwE14/fkFmPIVxh1QjgCfbBwO OxKJS3DgEqijqWwGNCxReOQ= =SS7d -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
