Hi, Thanks for your concern! Don't worry...I've done my home work. No need to reinvent the wheel. I'm just applying those techniques (and a few of my own) to enhance RPM Browser for Windows. Please (re) visit the RPM Browser website and join the mailing list at ( http://www.laysi.com/rpmbw ). There are things coming down the road for the Linux 'purist' as well as those who are dual/multi booting the Linux OS. It's really EXCITING! Again, thanks! -Larry -----Original Message----- From: Jim Hebert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wednesday, January 06, 1999 7:31 PM Subject: RE: rpm2html for SRPMs? >On Wed, 6 Jan 1999, Yates, Larry wrote: > >> I'm working now on accessing RPM files in the Linux (ext2) partitions, >> from WIndows, on a dual/multi boot machine.
