I have correct installed an RPM file (i think)

Where can i open that program
I can't find it

you can do a rpm -ql <rpmname> to get a list of files that have been installed.

e.g. if rpm name is rsync-xxxxxx, type rpm -ql rsync

Or just open a console and type in the program name
eg
mozilla
rsync
or whatever

If it has installed correctly, the program will run.

To install an rpm,

#rpm -ivh <rpmname-xxx>

If it fails with dependency errors, you may need to install other rpms that are required.

when I do that I get a message <rpmname> is already installed

type the name of the program in the consol and see what that does
