Extracting the RPM

An extracted package can be downloaded from: http://cross-lfs.org/~jciccone/usermode-1.87.tar.gz

Make sure that you have rpm2cpio and Cpio installed. This is not the only way to extract the tarball. If you know of a better way that has almost no dependencies, By all means add it.

rpm2cpio usermode-1.87-3.src.rpm | cpio -d -i

The above command will create 2 files. usermode-1.87.tar.gz and usermode.spec. It is safe to delete usermode.spec
