When using .tar.gz or .tgz files, it is easy to see what the list
of files are. As well, you can easily untar it wherever you want.

I want to know how to do this with RPMs.  I can't seem to find a
way to check the contents of an RPM or SRPM to determine *where*
it will try to install them.  I want to see *what* is in the
package before I install it.  The only way I can figure this out
is to install, and then do a query list (-ql), and then uninstall
if I don't like it.

Is the only way to install mdk-RPMs into /usr/local/ by using the
source RPMs ?

Thanks... Dan.
