rpm -qpl src.rpm

should show you a list of the files in the RPM.  When you "install" it,
they get installed in your rpmbuild sandbox under:  SPECS and SOURCES
subdirectories.

You really shouldn't be playing with source RPMs as root.  Look in your
user RPM sandbox:

	/home/userid/rpmbuild  for your SOURCES and SPECS directories.

You can build/rebuild/edit/create RPMs in there.
