Well, if you "can't find them nowhere," it follows, logically, since that's a double-negative, that you can find then somewhere. (All right, that's a little pedantic, but you shouldn't write "nowhere" when you clearly should have written "anywhere.")
So, where did you look? Do you have the find command implemented? Try a find / | grep -i <package_name> if you do. Otherwise a ls -R / | grep <package_name> should, at least, tell you if the package is somewhere in your file system.
Oh, were you perhaps running as "root", so the package(s) might be in /root instead of your home directory?
found them PTrenholme, first time they weren't there,some stuff goes /home( xx.g)z other goes to /tmp (.dsl), but now i get both /home after reinstall (not related to this)

Rep:
I can't figure out how to install packages either. I downloaded quite a few, I can find them but have no idea how to install. Also DSL won't connect to my sound board. It finds it on boot up but when I run alsaconf it runs aground. Is there another package I need? I downloaded all alsa packages I could find. Flashplayer, geeze, can't get it either. I'd dump it but it makes my old junk box "fast". I have all the apps I need on my Suse 10.3 main box but it would be nice to have some audio. Can't install T'Bird either.
