They should be in a subdirectory of the directory you were in when you extracted them, so if you where in '/home/username' they would be in '/home/username/some_directory' (you would have seen some_directory as you were extracting them). You can use the `locate` command to search for files; if your nightly cron job hasn't run since you extracted the files run su -c /etc/cron.daily/find before running locate. Then just run locate name_of_file_or_piece_of_name -- Harry Henry Gebel West Dover Hundred, Delaware GPG encrypted email gladly accepted.
