another way is to have the filelist on hand, ie... from your RPMS
directory on your redhat cd, type this..

rpm -qilp *.rpm > ~/rpmlist.txt then you can browse your rpmlist file
to locate files.

-q    is a query
-i    shows package information
-l    list all files in package
-p *.rpm    means work on a uninstalled packages *.rpm

Cheers

Alex!
