In my case, the executable, "firefox", is in
/home/todd/install_firefox/. That is where I untarred the tarball.<br>

I may be using an inaccurate term, however I thought that RH keeps a
list of installed rpm's.<br>

Where you put the tarball shouldn't really matter. As you note it
installs the files in the correct place regardless of where you put the
tarball. I usually put tar'ed sources in /usr/local/src/, but some
folks have a preference for other locations (in /opt/ is the most common
other place).

If you want. I use /usr/local/rpms/, but that's something I made up.
} Does "rpm -i myapp.n.n.n.rpm" enter the application into the rpm index?
I don't even know what a "rpm index" is. rpm -i installs the rpm (see
"man rpm").
