How to extract rpm archive without installing
If you have a .rpm archive but don't use a rpm based distribution and want to extract some files from it, rpm2cpio utility comes into scene:
rpm2cpio xyz.rpm | cpio -idmv
It basically converts .rpm to cpio archive file and after that uses cpio to complete extraction process.
