[Note to myself: links to kubuntu forum re. deb extraction, rebuilding 2 places appears to be gone. It was in the Experimental section which appears to have been removed. :-( .]

Let's Go Retro Now - A RPM Extractor w/ Scripts

Posted 01-20-2012 at 09:02 AM by rainbowsally

Just dropping by? Here's an easy one. And it's kind of fun.

We've already created a launch utility in this blog, but let's create one that works on other folks systems so they don't need to "install" (so to speak) anything to get the benefits of the functionality.

First let's look at the principles involved

Let's read fstab as a normal user. Don't 'su' or 'sudo su' here, because we don't actually want to be able to write to it. Just picking...
