RPM-kommandon

rpm -qlp <namn>.rpm	Listar innehållet i en RPM-fil med namet <namn>
rpm -qa \| grep -i <namn>	Listar alla inlagda paket och söker efter ett paket med namet <namn>
rpm -e <namn> (utan .rpm)	Avinstallerar paketet

Do you want to extract a file from an rpm package, but don't want to install the whole rpm to get it?
Well here is how you do it. I am going to grab htpasswd from the httpd rpm

To find out where the file will get installed if you install the whole package run this command

rpm -qlp httpd-2.0.40-21.i386.rpm | grep htpasswd

Now that i have /usr/bin/htpasswd as the location I can use rpm2cpio to grab just that file.

rpm2cpio httpd-2.0.40-21.i386.rpm | cpio -ivd ./usr/bin/htpasswd

That should place a file in ./usr/bin/htpasswd Notice I have a . (period) in front.
It will create the usr/bin and then place htpasswd in that dir in whatever dir you are in. So in my example i was in /tmp so all the full path to htpasswd is

/tmp/usr/bin/htpasswd

From there i could move it to /usr/bin and delete /tmp/usr and also the rpm.
