you can see the package listing from any rpm by using the -ql option for
rpm command .... example: rpm -ql <package name> also ... if you want to
monitor the installation of an RPM to see where its installing to (as well
as some other good messages) run rpm with multiple "v" options (level of
verbosity) try something like this when you do the next install:
rpm -ivvvh <package name> (or Uvvvh if it is an upgrade)
Hope this helps,
