Hi when i install a package where is it installed???? where´s the executable? thanks Christian
Hello Christian, Most binaries end up in either /usr/sbin or in /sbin/, but can also be in /usr/local/nameofapp/app. If you know the applications name you can try whereis nameofapp. Usually the application ends u If you are installing via Yast then its more difficult to track. Anyone remember the option for displaying the actual files as they are installed? I believe its -h -v? So rpm -i -h -v rpmpackagename. Matt On Fri, 26 Jan 2001, Christian Mendieta wrote:

-- Hello, In my simple-minded way, if you are using KDE, go to utilities --> kpackage. You can do a "find package" and it will show in the display. Click the file tab. It will show you where all the programs files have been installed. The executable is usually near the top of the list...../usr/bin /opt/kde/bin or some such path.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, The actual rpm parameters to show installed files are "-ql", so "rpm -ql samba | grep bin" should show you all installed binaries in the samba package. Using commandline is far more powerful than using GUI rpm tools, it just takes some reading, but if you use rpm on a regular basis, you are better off knowing the commandline :-) - -tosi Þann föstudagur 26 janúar 2001 19:28 skrifaðir þú:

I agree with all of the above. I just wanted to add a tip that has helped me when using kpackage: click the file list tab. It shows you all the files that will be installed and where. *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.0 Professional KMail 1.0.29.2 Bryan S.
