Hi friends, I lately got a source rpm package (driver for NIC). I would like to load the driver during installation process(load from driver floppy). Could you please show me how can I convert the *.src.rpm to *.dd?
Then I can use the image to create a driver disk to load the driver. Thanks a lot!

The elaborate way could be to build the RPM from the .src.rpm, unpack it with rpm2cpio and cpio, 'dd' a file the size of a floppy, loopmount it, format it, mount it, copy the installed files to the mounted location, umount, loopmount -d, then 'dd' that image to a floppy, but (all as unprivileged user installing the .src.rpm should get you the tarball any patches, additional files and the .spec file, running 'rpmbuild' with the "-bi" switch and supplying the /path/to.spec file should configure, patch, build and install the package, then you could copy the installed files to your floppy disk. Seems easier to me.

unSpawn, thanks.
I have just got another rpm package for HP storage card. When I use
#rpm2cpio RPM_file | cpio -idv
I found that I got the following file:
./opt/hp/storage_drivers/*.tar.gz

Then how can I prepare the floppy driver disk using the gunzip file?

Anyone can help me? Thanks a lot.

I also would like to know that if I get source files for a device driver(Such as HBA cards).
How can I prepare the floppy driver disk from the source files?
How can I prepare the rpm packages for RHAS or SLES?
Is there some documents which show the details about linux drivers?
Appreciated for any kind of help. Thanks.
