Have you tried using the 'mc'shell. Navigate to the rpm you are interested in
and double click on it. You will be able to see exactly what is included in the
rpm, read any documentation and in many cases even instal or update the files.
I would be lost without this shell. Beats trying to mv, cp etc from the command
line, comes in full screen and x versions.
