Yes, that should be possible;  "man rpm" reveals a general option called
"--dbpath" (which takes the name of a directory as argument) -- this
should do it.

If you retrieved the list, could you gather some additional info about
your system (which kind of filesystem you were using, output of lspci -v,
...) and send me a summary (better not post it here -- too big)?
Thanks in advance!

unfortunately, after 2 more reboots, my machine doesn't start anymore. 
lots of error messages during startup "command not found".

system?

I have exactly the same problem here: After a _clean_ reboot the day
before yesterday, approximately 3600(!) files were missing, 85% of them
being locales.
Among them was "/usr/share/vim/tutor/tutor.it", but
rpm -e --nodeps vim-minimal vim-enhanced vim-common
urpmi vim-minimal vim-enhanced vim-common
didn't help.

> chkrootkit is in contrib/  You can add a contrib source with urpmi.setup

I did that already, but to no avail (i.e., nothing was found).  As the
server in question (Sony GRX516MD laptop, running under 2.4.22-18mdk, ext3
only) seems to be pretty secure (though I will try some other intrusion
detection beasts later--any suggestions?), this is what I expected.
The only cause I could think of right now is some malicious rpm package
(though nearly all packages came from the 9.2 isos and club) -- maybe
"Vtucatz elPunishar" and I should exchange rpm lists?
