I did some very primitive shellscripting to test this out - somehow it  
seems to work:

#!/bin/sh

for rpm in `grep -v '^--'  
/sl/slinky-0.4.05/filesystem/scripts/3/all_packages.disc1`
do
    rpm -qp --qf "[%{fssizes}+]" $rpm >> ~/tmp/ergebnis
done;

This produces under some circumstances (pwd must be FC3-CD, ...) a file  
"ergebnis" which can be opened by openoffice and Ctrl+A > Ctrl++ puts you  
the result into the Clipboard. (May be someone finds a better solutio with  
bc or whatever)

The most important above: You need the -qp switch to query uninstalled  
packages.

Using this script, gives us 662 302 237 Bytes (?) for the list  
all_packages.disc1 from Fanz. Installing this list on a 1 GB drive gave  
errors because of size - strange!? Any idea?!


bye, Ingo.
