    So I've installed a couple of packages off the internet successfully and was wondering where exactly on the system they get installed? I've installed the Custom Desktop Script so I've got access to the system files and a proper desktop however I want to add shortcuts to these apps on the desktop (Audacious player, etc). Where are they installed?

    And while I'm here is there a disk cleaner for Linpus Linux similar to CCleaner on the PC? It removes useless files from TEMP directories as well as cleans the registry of useless componenets. Any ideas?

    rpm -ql <package name>

    package-cleanup is handy. But be careful what you remove.
