Okay, I can download gimp-1.1.29 to a directory named /downloads/gimp. I can then tar -xvzf gimp-1.1.29.tar.gz and it makes the directory /downloads/gimp/gimp-1.1.29 and uncompresses all the files. I can 'configure' it, 'make clean' and 'make install' and whalla the gimp works [and it is much improved!]. My question: After installation are the files in the '/downloads/gimp/gimp-1.1.29' now superfluous? Can I delete this directory to recover the disk space without affecting the installed program and its required files, libraries, etc.?? For future reference is there a list of all files installed and their locations?
