How to check installed files from the terminal?

[Metallion]

You know how when you go into synaptic, you can check exactly which files a package has installed on your computer? I'm wondering how it's possible to see that from the terminal. I know I could just open synaptic and have a look there but I'm rather fond of my terminal. :)

Thanks

This uses the "dpkg - package manager". Use the command:

dpkg -L wireless-tools
to view installed files. Use:

dpkg -s wireless-tools
To see the status and dependencies of the installed package.


dpkg -l | grep ii
Will give you a list of installed packages.

See "man dpkg" for more information......
