Install rpmunpack & cpio. Then to extract the contents of the .rpm do :

rpmunpack < your_pkg.rpm | gzip -d | cpio -idmuv

and simply copy the files included in a dir in your system (eg, /opt/winex).

you can create the package, but it's not allowed to publish it....

Thanks!

Im downloading the pkgs right now....

I dont build it from CVS, becouse i have the builds already, and the CVS version doesnt include some propietary stuff, also, as a "release" (3.2) its supposed to be stable... or at least, the games they say work, should work.

But i been compiling CVS version till now, only, not in Arch or a pkg... also i dont have broadband so i wouldnt be able to upload the file... sad

This works for me, but you'll need to be a subscriber. Install pygtk and python, then download point2play small package tgz. Unpack this to / (as root). Run Point2Play and setup your account and then use Point2Play to download the latest version.

One nice thing about this method is that the point2play icon appears in the gnome menu under others  big_smile
