finding a program after downloading
Hi
I downloaded Flightgear for linux and it installed ok ( i think?) and then vanished!
I cant find it on any menu or in the file system?
I tried "Whereis flightgear" in the terminal and the reply was
flightgear:
which didnt help me much!!
can anyone advise please?
Update:
I did a "Locate" and found all the doc files - still couldnt see the program file but as i'm new to linux i still havnt got the hang of the not having an EXE file extension!
found out that by just typing FGFS in terminal the program runs.
I'm trying not to moan LOL BUT the people who wrote this must have devoted huge amounts of time to this program. would it have been that hard to add this to a menu plus links to the help files?
or is this harder with linux cos of all the different distro's?
thanks
Mike
