how to 'rip apart' a rpm.

[reg at dwf.com]

I want to look at the individual files in a src rpm.
How do I 'rip it apart' ??
Doing an install doesnt seem to be the answer, It does something, but I
have no idea where the bits and pieces are going.
They are NOT in /usr/src/redhat nor in /root/rpmbuild.
