Doing an "rpm -qlp" on the package, or even using the "less" command,
will list the contents of it, with the file paths. That'll show you
what's going to go where. The less command reads a plethora of
information from a package, in one go (package info, readme {I think},
the changelog, and the file listing).
You can even open a package with the fileroller GUI utility, and check
out individual files like any other archive. Or the cpio command, for
the command line.
