Yum menyimpan cache dari RPM yang diunduh di sini:
/var/cache/yum/<you architecture>/<OS version>/
Misalnya kotak saya adalah Fedora 14, arsitektur x86_64 jadi saya punya yang berikut:
$ ls /var/cache/yum/x86_64/14/
adobe-linux-i386 lamolabs rpmfusion-nonfree
adobe-linux-x86_64 lamolabs-noarch rpmfusion-nonfree-debuginfo
Dropbox nautilus-flickr-uploader rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide-debuginfo
fedora qm rpmfusion-nonfree-source
...
...
Tetapi RPM yang diinstal pada dasarnya seperti file zip atau tar. Jadi isi file-file ini dibuang ke sistem dan RPM memelihara database dari paket apa yang telah diinstal. RPM "database" terletak di direktori ini:
$ ls /var/lib/rpm
Basenames __db.002 Dirnames Installtid Packages Pubkeys Sha1header
Conflictname __db.003 Filedigests Name Providename Requirename Sigmd5
__db.001 __db.004 Group Obsoletename Provideversion Requireversion Triggername
Anda dapat melihat di mana file diinstal per setiap RPM dengan perintah ini.
file apa yang ada dalam RPM yang terinstal
$ rpm -ql rpm
/bin/rpm
/etc/rpm
/usr/bin/rpm2cpio
/usr/bin/rpmdb
/usr/bin/rpmquery
/usr/bin/rpmsign
/usr/bin/rpmverify
/usr/lib/rpm
/usr/lib/rpm/macros
/usr/lib/rpm/platform
/usr/lib/rpm/platform/amd64-linux
