This moring I cleaned out a lot of RPM's and then found I had removed   
/usr/bin.gtbl and /usr/bin/groff , which are needed to format man pages!
Can anyone tell me which rpm they are in? Better still can anyone tell me   
how to find a file that is in an uninstalled rpm so you know which one to   
install?

I have played with rpm -q but as far as I can tell that will only tell   
you the files that are in rpm's that are already installed.

I have all the distribution rpm's in /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS but dont know   
which one to load.
