Re: [LI] Slackware and RPM

[Ravindra Reddy B <ravi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Mr. Subba Rao,

There is a program which will convert rpms to targgz "rpm2targz" in the
slackware distribution.  u can use that tool to convert rpms to tar files.
I have not used the package so far.  

The latest Slackware i.e., Slackware 7.0 (glibc based) package even
included an unsupported rpm tool in its distribution.  

Hope this will help you.

With bestwishes,
Ravi
