Now, I am confused, so, if I want to install a certain package, so far I
keep typing it out wrong half the time, so I tried "rpm -ivh $(which <name
of file>)", but it dosen't like it.
is there a command say lets say the package "traceroute-1.4a5-23.i386.rpm"
to just say something like "rpm -ivh $(which traceroute)" or something, in
order to get around the "-1.4a5-23.i386.rpm" part of it?

That is why I use:
rpm -q -f $(which <file>)
#the $( ) syntax is the same as backticks but I use it so I can nest
statements easily
