Problem: You want to install an
rpm/tgz on your Linux box and want to know what files were installed
where. Solution: Follow this Howto |
|
STEP 1: Run this command to take a snapshot of the system “before” the changes.
|
[root@e-smith root]# find / * > /tmp/name-of-pkg-preinstall |
STEP 2: Install your software
|
[root@e-smith
root]# rpm –Uhv name-of-pkg.rpm |
STEP 3: Run this command to take a snapshot of the system “after” the changes.
|
[root@e-smith
root]# find / * > /tmp/name-of-pkg-postinstall |
STEP 4: Create a diff of the post vs. pre-install
|
[root@e-smith
root]# diff /tmp/name-of-pkg-preinstall
/tmp/name-of-pkg-postinstall > /tmp/name-of-pkg-install |
STEP 5: Now see the new file locations
|
[root@e-smith root]# pico -w /tmp/name-of-pkg-install |
