Did you use the command exactly like this `rpm2cpio rpmfile.rpm ...'? And I thought it would be obvious that `rpmfile.rpm' has to be replaced with the name of the actual rpm.
So, starting from /usr/home/george/download/ I did the below command:
rpm2cpio web*rpm |cpio --extract --make-directories --no-absolute-filenames --preserve-modification-time
This first created some directories and then extracted the file. I just want the file webfonts.exe . Results shown below. Anyway to make it extract the file into the present directory, and not make the extension /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/ ?
/usr/home/george/download/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/webfonts.exe
No rant intended, but have you ever considered to read the fine manual of cpio? You used the `--make-directories' switch -- you _asked_ cpio to create the directories and afterwards wonder why it did exactly that???
