desktop icons linked to bin files

[pengwin]

i just installed acrobat reader and netscape 6.2 browser but have to go to the nautilus manager and double click the bin file to start them.
can someone tell me how to set an icon on the desktop with a link to the bin file; also, how to add this file to my programs section on the desktop pane (using gnome at the moment).
i'm using redhat 7.2 and tonight is the first time i've ever installed anything extra in linux.(a beginning, i hope).
thanks,
pen :confused:

Well, you can create a link. If you have a Window manager, just drag the /usr/bin file onto your desktop and then select "Create as Link"

I think the command is:

mv -s /usr/bin/filename ~/Desktop

Not positive about that, though. I usually do it graphically.
