thanks for this it was a great help - Is it possible to modify the files
within the rpm and then just 'tar' it back up again or some other such
like to repackage it? I need to change something within an rpm but i

You can, but this is an amazingly bad idea and is one of those "the
world is ending, am I REALLY sure I want to do this?" kind of things?
