rpm install command, installs files all over the place like: /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /etc/, /usr/share

This way it’s hard to figure out all the contents of the installation.
Is it possible to force rpm to install everything in a single directory?

    you can use the --relocate to change 1 directory of the install process

    rpm -i --relocate /usr/sbin=/some/other/path/sbin packagename.rpm
    

    or use --prefix for the whole installation process

    rpm  -i --prefix=/some/other/path/ packagename.rpm
