Suppose we want to extract and see the RPM content without installing it. This is how we do it This should work on any RPM based system like fedora, centos etc.

Example: extract wget rpm bundled with Fedora 9

rpm2cpio wget-1.11.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm | cpio -idmv

Cheers,

I was always wondering that why local phone companies were not offering DSL without phone service. Technically they are two different service sharing same wire and it was always possible to un-bundle them. But phone companies were not doing it until recently when they started losing this business because of VOIP.

VOIP users may not like to continue paying for conventional phone service and usually switch to Cable. Years back when I moved to VOIP, I also did the same. But now we also have option of getting Naked DSL with VOIP.

So, consider checking Naked DSL options with your local phone company if you are not satisfied with your cable modem services.
