-----------------------------------------------
as you can see the tethereal located in /usr/sbin and it's easily 
exutable, but the mystery ethereal  file can't  be located?! I tried 
just to find it:
[root@localhost i386]# find / -name ethereal
/usr/share/ethereal
/usr/lib/ethereal
/usr/local/share/ethereal
/usr/local/lib/ethereal
find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc: this may be a bug in 
your filesystem driver.  Automatically turning on find's -noleaf 
option.  Earlier results may have failed to include directories that 
should have been searched.
/etc/pam.d/ethereal
/etc/security/console.apps/ethereal
---------------------------
only directories and nonexutable files...
here is the rpm query, may be it will say you something:
[root@localhost i386]# rpm -qi ethereal-0.10.11-2.i386

Summary     : Network traffic analyzer.
Description :
Ethereal is a network traffic analyzer for Unix-ish operating systems.
This package uses libpcap, a packet capture and filtering library, and
contains command-line utilities, plugins and documentation for ethereal. A
GTK+ based graphical user interface is available in a separate package.
------------------------------------------------------------
I couldn't understend the meaning of GTK+ separate package ?!
And also, it shows as if it's src.rpm and not rpm?! (probably becaus i 
tried at some stage to install src.rpm too)
I don't know witch dierction to go, or i managed to destroy things so 
quickly..

I'd be happy if you could suggest another options!
