Re: how to find out where a program is installed
Did you install it using pacman? If so, "pacman -Ql <package>" will list the files in the named package.

Re: how to find out where a program is installed
If you know the name of the executable, you can also do "which binary-name", and that should give you some clues.

Re: how to find out where a program is installed
hmm it isn't showing me where it was installed this is what I installed
" pacman -U enemy-territory-2.60b-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz" I tried "enemy-territory-2.60b-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz" but it doesn't show me anything.
Edit ok I just needed to type pacman -Ql enemy-territory
ok what if I installed using yaourt is the search the same way?
also how do I uninstall something?

Re: how to find out where a program is installed
first try use yaourt --help or pacman --help, i think everything you want to know is well described there

Re: how to find out where a program is installed
try pacman -Ql enemy-territory
or it would take a bit longer you could do find / -name enemy or something like that
theres also this post that says its in /opt/enemy/territory http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=373937
