I'm using ELDK-3 from Denx for my ppc based board, which has
disk space (in the form of a compact flash) that I want to
manage using rpm. (I'd like to rpm install the eldk packages
that I want on my target.)

So I'm looking for a cross-rpm howto. Seems like the ppc_4xx-rpm
that comes with the ELDK gets me half way there.

Check http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/ELDKRebuildingComponents

Almost. That is instructions for remaking the ELDK packages
from the src.rpms. But I want to take the existing binary
rpms and install them on my owh root. This does *not* work:

   ppc_4xx-rpm --root=/mnt/flash foo.ppc.rpm

I want to do something like that with the packages, so that
I can install individual existing ppc.rpm packages from the
ELDK disk onyl by flash card.
