Something I mention to new linux users... When you install an rpm, the concept of "where did this software install" doesn't really apply anymore. It is a holdover from your previous Windows/Mac experience. Software installed from an rpm is generally highly integrated into the system, binaries are generally in /usr/bin, configuration files are generally in /etc, docs are generally in /usr/share/doc or /usr/share/man, variable data is generally in /var, etc. And of course, you can easily query the rpm database for just about anything. -- Garrick Staples, Linux/HPCC Administrator University of Southern California -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
