I just use mc (midnight commander)- ncurses version. It appears as 
a virtual file system. You get to see all those hidden, special 
files, just like any other file on the system. I don't know if you 
can delete a file in an rpm with it, I have never tried. You can 
even use it to manually install the package if you want, or need 
to. Best of all, it works without X.
