How can I extract files from a .rpm file?

Hi,
I'm a Gentoo user and newbie to rpm. But I began FC14 also. So please tell me how to extract files from a rpm, anyone?

Thanks in advance!

rpm2cpio <package>.rpm | cpio -idmv

Or use the " @unSpawn unPack script ".

Please, check this thread (especially the script from unSpawn). Basically you need rpm2cpio.

Or, using your GUI, just right-click on the .rpm and choose to open with the archive manager.
