As a newbie some things are a littlel confusing so bear with me. I just removed Mozilla 1.4 that came with my Mandrake 9.1 distro and succesfully installed Mozilla 1.6. I used the tar and installed from the Mozilla folder just as the instructions said, but the program doesn't appear iin the "Start" menu (for the lack fo a better term). Is the a way to get these in there when you install a downloaded program versus one from the distro cd's?

I was able to right click on the icon that was in the tray and change the path to the new program, so I can get it to work.

Also, is there a way to create shortcuts for these things on the desktop?

Regards,

Paul

We can help, if you let us know what desktop you are running... KDE, GNOME, something else?

That goes to show you the things that I take for granted coming from Redmond.

I am using KDE.


Thank you,

Paul

If you right-click the programs list button, you can choose "Menu Editor". In there, you can set-up the menu however you want. You can add "New Item" or "New Submenu".

You can also right-click the desktop and choose "Create New" / "Link to Application", and fill in the info to create new icon-links to any program you want. Click the icon on the first tab, and you can change that to whatever you want.

You don't need to "bump" a thread. It might actually get you less help... Most regulars click the "view new messages" link to see what's been happening since they were last here. If a messages has a handful of replies, then people tend to think others are helping out in that thread.

Still learning. Thank you for the help and forum etiqutte guidance. Other forums use bump to stay on fromt page if no answers after several hours. I guess that this one is monitored more frequently, which is great to know.

Thanks again,

Paul
