AFAIK they go into /usr/local. So you will find the programs usually
in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin.
Once they are installed, they aren't automatically registered, I
suppose. You can run them by going to the directory in which they are,
and do ./{file name}. Easier is to do a 'rehash' (which doesn't work
in sh and bash, so switch to csh).
And there is of course the M$ method: reboot :-)
