| I'm playing around with Ubuntu 6.10 and have installed a few packages from the manager. I installed a Python editor + source code examples but I just don't know where the source code is. What folder should I look in? I tried serching for *.py and got a list of what seems to be functions which do nothing at all when I run them. Is there a general way to find out where things went? |

| Um... well I'm a dumbass, but considering there's been no replies... The .tar.gz file goes to: /var/cache/apt/archives Where the actual files that are unzipped go to can be found in the synaptic package manager. Find the package you installed, right-click on it and select properties and then go to the installed files tab. |
