Umm. I think you can get away with relocating any RPM out there that
you want. Maybe 'relocate' isn't the right word. Have you used the
--root feature of rpm? This will definitely put the RPM package/files
and the RPM database entries in the location you want. So for example,
to install the latest version of Mozilla to the /opt/ltsp/i386 directory
infrastructure, on the server, you would type 'rpm --root /opt/ltsp/i386
mozilla-1.0.0-...-i386.rpm', and viola! Mozilla goes where you want it
to. No need for mounting /opt/ltsp/i386 read/write or to installing RPM
into the thin client filesystem, etc.
