How do I know where software goes when I install it?
For instance, I just installed Opera on Red Hat 8.0, and
had to dig around to find it.
From the root I ran "ls -al -R | grep opera"
This produced about 16,000 items!  Through trial and error I was
able to find the executable, and create a "launcher" on my desktop
to it.

Next I installed Wine.  I still have no idea where the executable is, but I
know it's not in my path.  Running "ls -al -R | grep wine" produces even
more results than when I looked for Opera.

Is there a default location for software installations via RPMs?

Thank you,
Chris
