Synaptic question.

[Penguin_Wizard]

Hi!

I'm wondering where the installed files are.
On Debian, I can right click on installed package name (on Synaptic)->Properties->Installed files and see where on the filesystem the various binaries are.

On PC Linux I can't see an "Installed files" tab.
How can I find, where the binaries are, after installing a package?


THANKS!!!

dpkg -L <package name>

dpkg cheatsheet

Hrm, wait, pclinuxos uses synaptic, but they're still rpm right?

In which case

rpm -ql <package name>

rpm commands

Other distro independent options

whereis <package name>

man whereis

which <package name>

man which

THANKS reed9!!!
Much appreciated!

You're welcome. I should probably clarify that for which and whereis, it isn't actually the package name, but the binary/command name.
