Where are rpms installed?

Hi folks:
I downloaded a webmin rpm for the RH9. 
I place all rpms I download at /usr/local/rpms
and then from /usr/local/rpms I do
rpm -ivh xyz.rpm
However, when I go to the shell (even new shell), and
type the name  
$xyz
it does not run.
When I see by doing which xyz it says not able to find
xyz at /usr/bin , /usr/sbin etc etc or 
$whereis xyz 
nothing appears.
How to do this and where are all the bianries stored
when I do rpm -ivh, in general I am ignorant how this
rpm is different from when we download .tar.gz thing
and do the whole stuff manually
Thanks in advance
Regards
Rebel
