Assuming kde or gnome, select start,-->execute command

Or right click on the desktop Create new link to application. Set the icon and the execute to

what do you mean with start?? Is that the same thing as run? And when right clicking on the desktop do I make a new launcher? Thats the only reasonable option im getting

Don't mean to interrupt, but Yes- a new launcher will work to launch your app (providing its setup correctly that is) Before you make a new launcher, try to run it from the Console by typing amsn at the command prompt. Are you sure it isn't already in a menu somewhere?

Yes, sorry, Start-->Run Command. Which distro are you using? If you right click on a KDE desktop, the first pulldown itme is 'Create New...' then select 'Link to Application'. If you installed Mandrake/Suse, then it should be there (KDE) is the default. If Redhat, then the default is GNOME, but the item to select should be similar.

See if a menu item got added somewhere in internet, or Extra's-->Internet, etc as Peteatwork (who should be WORKING

) said.
