Have you verified that the > rpm is good? It works here with a slightly different version. How do I verify the package is good? I downloaded the distribution snapshot from ftp://ftp.redhat.com. Actually I'm trying to unpack and install some of these rpm's on another machine (Slackware) that has some drive space, etc. Sorry to seem so inept. I'm used to working with tarballs that I can plant anywhere I want. Apparently documentation for rpm2cpio is not included with the RH 6.1 I bought some time ago and there is no manpage, and it is not mentioned in a big third-party book on devoted to 6.1. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know about it. Thanks, --Paul -- William J.
