yum (where is the program)
I am using fedora9. I used "yum install xxxProgram" .. the installation is finished.. but i can't find the program neither in /sbin, /bin, /usr/sbin .. the configuration file is not in /etc...... it is just like never been installed.. but i do "rpm -q xxxProgram" it would say xxxProgram is installed.

How do i find out where the program got installed to?

to find yum
Hello I'm new here,
you should be able to just go "whereis yum"
It should be in /usr/bin/yum
cheers

Hi,
I can't check right now, but i think rpm -qil xxxProgram (query info list) gives You the content of a package and where the files will be installed.
If You have mc You can also browse the content of a rpm-file.
Or after the nightly update of locate-database You could type locate xxxProgram. Maybe it doesn't have any files named similar to xxxProgram.
