   In what package I will find rpm2cpio?
   I tried to convert a *.rpm and tazpkg says I need rpm2cpio.
   My SliTaz is from a USB stick, and when I need a package I install. I am using SliTaz cooking.
   The computer where I use SliTaz does not have a Internet connection, so I am not able to found it, or don't know how.

   It's supposed to come with busybox, but it's functionality is broken in Stable and from what you're saying, it's missing in Cooking. What happens when you type busybox rpm2cpio in terminal?

   Cooking:

   tux@slitaz:~$ which rpm2cpio
   /usr/bin/rpm2cpio

   tux@slitaz:~$ ls -la /usr/bin/rpm2cpio
   lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jun 22 21:16 /usr/bin/rpm2cpio -> ../../bin/busybox

   tux@slitaz:~$ rpm2cpio --help

   Command line: rpm2cpio --help

   BusyBox v1.18.4 (2011-06-11 20:00:17 CEST) multi-call binary.

   Usage: rpm2cpio package.rpm

   Output a cpio archive of the rpm file

   Broken ? Can you try:

   $ rpm2cpio somefile.rpm | cpio -tv
   or
   $ rpm2cpio < somefile.rpm | cpio -tv
   or
   $ busybox rpm2cpio < somefile.rpm | cpio -tv

   I was trying to install another sound editor, but it needs practically a gnome desktop, so I give up. I couldn't see if tazpkg will convert a rpm package for now. I will return.

   I will change my question:
   when I try to convert a package wine-gecko*.rpm I get this and then a 4.00 Kb file:
   rpm2cpio: no gzip/bzip2/xz magic
   I installed gzip and the problem appears again.
   If I did it on-line using VirtualBox it access the mirror slitaz.org and I still get a 4.00 Kb file`

    Wine and wine-gecko on Cooking:
    Install wine version 1.2.3
    #tazpkg -gi wine
    Wine-gecko is wines version of internet explorer web browser
    Go to this tutorial: http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko
    Look at the chart, wine_gecko-1.0.0-x86.cab is the correct version for wine version 1.2.3
    #mkdir -p /usr/share/wine/gecko
    #cd /usr/share/wine/gecko
    #wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine_gecko-1.0.0-x86.cab
    Test wine-gecko:
    #wine iexplore http://forum.slitaz.org

    Have you considered installing the bzip2 and xz packages along with the gzip package?

    ´Have you considered installing the bzip2 and xz packages along with the gzip package?´
    After I installed gzip, bzip2 and xz still not working.
    I give up, I don't need wine-gecko.
