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?

I will see.

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.

Ok!!! now worked, don't know what I did before. Thanks!
Maybe it was a problem in the memory of the computer. I installed lot of stuff.

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:
[c]rpm2cpio: no gzip/bzip2/xz magic[/c]
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?

After I installed gzip, bzip2 and xz still not working.
I give up, I don't need wine-gecko.
