Yum maintains a cache of the RPMs it downloads here:
/var/cache/yum/<you architecture>/<OS version>/
For example my box is Fedora 14, x86_64 architecture so I have the following:
$ ls /var/cache/yum/x86_64/14/
adobe-linux-i386 lamolabs rpmfusion-nonfree
adobe-linux-x86_64 lamolabs-noarch ...

The rpm files themselves are downloaded and then installed. Once these files are installed, they are tracked by the rpm database. To see where the files for a particular rpm were installed, you can run rpm -ql.

[z@localhost ~]# rpm -ql bash |head
/bin/bash
/bin/sh
/etc/skel/.bash_logout
/etc/skel/.bash_profile

If you have a device that's running QNX, and you want to run Android on it, your only chance is to run a virtual machine in which you ...

Not really an Android developer, but apparently Android supports cgroups(also). On regular servers, cgroups are intended to replace several different subsystems (the limits subsys being one) so it's probably (just going off my GNU/Linux admin experience) preferred to use cgroups to do what you're wanting (going forward that's probably a good recommendation ...

QNX is a microkernel system, with (obviously) mostly POSIX userland interfaces. Linux is a monolithic kernel, with mostly POSIX interface.
The Linux kernel inside Android is heavily modified and configured for the hardware it runs on. It has a lot of non-standard interfaces and devices under its control on your random phone/tablet. Just look at the struggle ...

It would appear that it's not possible, at least according to this thread:
Install Android Ice Cream for PlayBook
Specifically several users report as follows:
