Hello all,

For most of you this may seem so simple as to be not worth answering ... but I 
would still like an answer that makes some sense.  Please keep in mind that I 
am not a computer programmer.

Yesterday, I downloaded the tarball for a recent version of a fairly commonly 
used piece of software (dhcp-3.0.1rc11.tar.gz) to a RH7.3 box.  After having 
a look at the README file and running the obligatory "./configure", "make", 
and "make install" commands (without error I might add), I now want to know 
what files I have actually 'installed' on this box.  Can someone please tell 
me where I should look for some kind of list of what files (including man 
pages) have been generated and installed?

Even though this is about the ISC dhcp server, the answer is probably generic 
and applicable to any software avalable as a source tarball.

My reasons for asking about this vary from, wanting to work out how to 
configure and run[1] the software, to, wanting to know which files to remove 
should I decide to un-install the software.

Any pointers will appreciated.

Regards,
Ewan

[1] This is usually the point of installing installing software.
