Not necessarily. I did an rpm -qlp on tomcat-6.0.18-0.noarch.rpm. All the files it installs are in /opt/tomcat The files, yes. But it is highly likely that it installs also links from /etc/tomcat, /usr/share/tomcat, /usr/lib/tomcat, /var/lib/tomcat and so on. At least, that is

Installing Tomcat the Brute Force Way?
