I downloaded and installed a .rpm package, and everything went fine, but I don't know where it installed to? Do all packages go to one place by default? How can I fond where it is? I tried "locate" and "whereis", but nada...Thanks in advance.

If your have gnome installed you can use: gnorpm this is a gui thing for installing rpms. But it can help you find out more about a rpm. type gnorpm on the command line. locate your rpm. click on query button. It will then display all info about the rpm, such as /usr/sbin/whatever. If the above does not work, then do the following: Most binaries are installed in the following directories: /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin Generally the name of the rpm will be similar to the command used to fire it up. Like: heroes.3-0.x.rpm, its binary would be, heroes But not in all cases. If you installed the above rpm, you could try: man heroes It may give you details on the software. Or locate command to find a binary: like: locate heroes The above command will display all files with heroes in it, and there location. hope this helps jerry

That's what I was looking for, thanks Jerry.

If you do a 'rpm -ql .rpm' it will list all the files (for named file) that are contained within the rpm database on your system - good for tracking down other files

The reason why 'locate' wouldnt have work (first post) is because you need to rebuild the database $updatedb $locate whatever Then you would found it.
