Good idea but I wouldn't expect root to have any problems with
permissions.  You do have to run it as root.  I tried getting
around that requirment and guess what it got me--no packages! :-)

You gave me an idea, and I tried it, and it worked.  Wipe out
the packages directory.  (Or rename it if you are shy).  Make
sure the packages directory does not exist.  When you run
pwlconfig, you will get the "extract packages" prompt again.

Hopefully RH9 rpm isn't broken (but it's only a hope)

The rpm's that are to be extracted are in 
Embedded_Build/src/RPMS/i386
and they should have come straight from the PeeWeeLinux install.
