Ok Yawgmoth, I downloaded the rpm and I was able to install it.............now what dir is it in and how do I access the program.
two options:
1. start looking in /usr or /usr/local
2. search the entire volume since the executable is called prboom (i beleive) you can do the following
mke sure you do this as root: find / -name prboom -depth
this will look for the file indicared by the name switch and will search trhe entire tree

(1) $ tar xzvf prboom-2.2.3.tar.gz
(2) $ cd <DIR which new extracted>
(3) look for INSTALL or README file
