There are some quirky things that result from extracting packages, rather than installing them. Running `yum reinstall` in some packages fixes the issues, as is the case for `passwd`. The `rinse` script simply extracts the packages and does not execute post-install commands (although it is capable of doing so). Please leave comments for other users if you run into problems and know how to fix them, so that others can benefit from your experience.

## Notes
Most of the `rinse` script runs under WSL 1, but the very last part, where `dnf` is invoked, runs into memory issues and corrupts the `rpm` database. This ruins the distro, and repair attempts fail, even uder WSL. If you know how to get `dnf` to work under WSL 1, please let us know, but there are lots of BDB issues related to WSL 1 on different forums on the web. WSL 2 solved those issues with the native Linux kernel.
