installation of rpm


I use mandrake linux 10.1

Recently i downloaded scorched 3d game both in rpm and exe format.

exe format installed in windows xp OK and game play is OK

rpm format went through the installation Ok but I cannot figure out where it has been instaled. find file does not show up anything.

If ask for reinstall, message is "it has been alrready installed

I wonder what is the problem?

It sounds to me that you're just unfamiliar with the program. I would suggest looking for a readme and seeing if it tells you what to do.

Usually games are installed in "/usr/bin/games" or "/usr/local/games". You could try checking there for it to.
