That was the OP's intent/question. Really? Then the post is phrased poorly: | I have been trying to determine what are the packages in a live iso file? | How do i do this? This has been answered. | i could find instructions on how to use rpm2cpio to extract a rpm file | that i know is in the iso, [...] This is not a question. | [...] but i am looking here to obtain a list of the rpms. This has been answered. With the list of packages and a package's name, one can query the RPM database also to retrieve the package's list of files in case that is needed as well. -- Fedora release 16 (Verne) - Linux 3.1.0-0.rc4.git0.0.fc16.x86_64 loadavg: 0.03 0.04 0.05 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
