I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish by this. If you would just like to be able to "browse" through the contents (like reading the README file or the docs) then you might want to consider using mc. It has the nice ability to let you do just that. It includes a built in viewer to allow you to read the files and is easy to navigate. If you are trying to "install to run" just not in the normal place, this could (depending on the package) cause you more grief then it is worth. A simple "rpm -e <package>" works quite well. Of course you may have a special need to do this, at which point you are really venturing into the "I want to do this my way" realm and it usually will mean that you are on your own for assistance. Good luck. -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.
