a combo of yumdownloader and rpm --relocate will let you have manual control over the location of the installed rpms. There is no way (or reason in the rpm-land) to rename the installed files as that is part of the process to avoid name-space clashes.<br>

Is anyone aware of a redhat/rpm equivalent of debian/dpkg's dpkg-divert<br>
command? An example of what I want to accomplish is<br>
