[TriLUG] Where is it now?

When you install a package (via rpm) it installs the executables, the
configuration files, and the documentation.

The documentation is generally found in /usr/share/doc/..

But my first stop would be the "man" files:  man <rpm-name>

Example:
  I install the rpm: grep-2.5-7mdk.src.rpm
  To look at how to use it: man grep

In Mandrake you can also find a lot of info on apps by clicking on the
"Documentation" Life Preserver in your tool bar.

If you want a more precise answer, then you'll have to tell us what rpm
you installed.

Enjoy!
