Thanks. I have a question: does Linux record the software installation process? For example I use apt to install some software in Debian but I would like to know where it puts the files. Can it be found in log file?

Chandra You can do this by opening a terminal and typing #cd /var/log/ and may view the files in the directory by typing #ls . You may view the log by typing #vi /var/log/messages .
