I don't know if there is a way to do this with rpm or not, does not look
like it from the options listed in the man pages. As mentioned though, this
can be done with mc.
from within mc, drill into the rpm. It will be opened in a virtual file
system. Drillinto the cpio.contents file and viola! the files contained in
the rpm are open for your perusing pleasure. I believe you can copy them
to where ever you want.
As to how mc does this I do not know but there ought to be a way to
replicate it from the command line. Perhaps MAximun RPM talks of this, I
have never read it.
