Hi,

   Firstly, if u  use file roller, open the tar.gz file again and u will see the top text box. There's the place where u have installed.

   To do a lookup efficiently, do the following:

1. Type "updatedb" in ur new terminal.
(Terminal ---> right click on the desktop and choose "Open Terminal")

2.  Wait for a couple of minutes.

3. Once finish, type "locate xxx"  (xxx is the file name for xxx.tar.gz u have unzipped)


Lastly, always try to put ur tar.gz files in /home directory. U will not be lost. Also, always u make sure that u extract at the home directory in the first place.
