Title: How can rpm and deb files be extracted using Tiny Core?
Post by: Guy on June 12, 2009, 02:42:58 PM

When I set up my printer the driver was available as an rpm or deb file.

I copied the deb file to a Debian operating system and extracted it. Then copied it back to Tiny Core and set up the printer.

Can rpm and deb files be extracted using Tiny Core?

How?

What extensions need to be installed?

rpm2cpio is a busybox utility available in TC. Used with cpio, this will extract the .rpm.
Debian archives may be extracted using the ar utility. It is part of the compiletc extension.

There's also p7zip for an all-in-one solution.
