Just adding my saved note on how it can be done:
Pull files out of an rpm without installing it: mkdir foo ; cp file.rpm foo ; cd foo rpm2cpio - < file.rpm | cpio --extract --no-absolute-filenames --make-directories
Alternatively, with midnight commander you can just "enter" the rpm as if it were a directory. (and the same happens for most archive formats)
