I am running Linux Gentoo and I was wondering how I convert a RPM file to a TAR file. Thanks. __________________ 3.0 GHz P4 w/ Hyper Threading 1 Gig DDR RAM 9800 Pro ATI Radeon 7.1 Soundblaster DVD Burners are a must! 19\'\' Samsung LCD ______________________________ In this world gone mad, we won\'t spank the monkey.

Gentoo has a terminal command, RPM2TAR that will convert a rpm file to a tar file. __________________ 3.0 GHz P4 w/ Hyper Threading 1 Gig DDR RAM 9800 Pro ATI Radeon 7.1 Soundblaster DVD Burners are a must! 19\'\' Samsung LCD ______________________________ In this world gone mad, we won\'t spank the monkey.
