Steven suggested typing 'd' while in the directory where the package
resides and then arrowing to the package name and hitting Enter, to see
the contents of the package. This won't tell you where files went if the
installation script moved them, but should help in most cases.

Is there an installpkg for Slackware 4.0?

Not sure about installpkg, but that could solve uninstall problems. When I run the command "pkg pkgname.tgz" I get screen output that shows where things are being unpacked to. Maybe just running "pkg pkgname.tgz
/tmp/installed-pkgs/pkgname.txt" would do the job I'm thinking of? If
pkgname could be read from the first part of the command issued (maybe minus the tgz extension), then this could be aliased to the pkg command. I guess it's apparent how feeble my bash scripting skills are? :)
