I've installed the RPM containing them (with a little help from Synaptic) but cannot seem to find the location where they were installed. Does anyone have an idea where i could find them? I'd like to read the documentation before I mess around with creating a .tex file from one of my documents.
You can find out which files are in an installed package by:
$ rpm -ql packagename
or for an uninstalled RPM:
$ rpm -qlp package.rpm
