MD 8.0 RPM Install

[wsm2506]

OK. I have figured out how to download software and install using RPM. I save the file to /home/user/temp, then just click on them, log in as root, and up pops the package manager. Install the software, exit out. Using the RUN command, type in the name of the software, and it runs.

Now, question; I can create a desktop icon by right clicking in the center of the desktop, but where did the package manager put the files so I can select the sofware I just installed?

Any help appreciated.

open a console and type which progName where progName is the command you're running.

this will give you the path to the executable. use that in your desktop link.
