"what will show directory structures for yum installations?" would have been
an easier/shorter subject. [and a few others]


if you have yumex installed, you can select, "Package View > Installed",
then click on "Files".

at command line, easiest is "locate [application name]".

use "locate [application name] | less" is list scrolls of screen.

at command line, enter;

  "man locate" or "info locate"

  "man less" or "info less"

for arguments.
