Very cool, thanks. I was not aware of mktemp but it looks like it fits
the bill perfectly. This is really quite cool. I had never heard of the
rpm2cpio command until Charles found it in Chuck's post. It is amazing
what something as simple as a corroborative list can accomplish.
I will add this to the script as I use it. I wonder if the bash list ever
got the cvs thing going? Sigh... time to read up. This is the only list
I try to keep current on day to day.
