Hello,
I am new to pwl and am trying to shrink down an existing RH 7.2 project to run on a CF.  I am able to create basic distros on the CF and boot from them fine. Problem is I am trying to add apache (apache-1.3.20-16.i386.rpm) and others to my project. This is what I have done:

- log in as root
- copied the apache rpm file into RPMS directory.
- run pwlconfig->Manage Package Files

When I try to extract a binary, I see the rpm in the list and I select it. It comes back saying package was extracted. However there are no *.tar or *.list files created anywhere for apache.

When I try to extract ALL binaries, it runs thru them all (including apache) and does create a *.tar and *.list file in the Deamons directory, but "tar tvf" is empty and the list file is zero size.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Bob
