The application that used to work with RPM files, letting one to look inside it and operate on their contents is gmc, not distributed anymore with Red Hat Linux. Remains the Midnight Commander (mc), a very good text based file manager capable of that. In fact, gmc is a like a GUI version of mc. Another application that can do that is krusader (http://krusader.sf.net), a KDE application (that can be run without running the KDE desktop). > > Also, I thought GnomeVFS was supposed to be able to browse archive > > files by now, but it doesn't look like the functionality is there in > > the desktop.
