I downloaded K3B(mandrake9.1pac) but I don't know how to start the program after installation.
k3b-0.10.1-91.i586mdk. I mean there is no icon to click start.unlike the old one which had icon to start the program.

Open a terminal and type in

Code:

k3b

It should open just fine. If it does post back and I'll see if I can help you get it in the menu or a desktop link you can click on.

Later

if you know where to start it. Then make an ikon on the desktop for it.

Right click on the blank desktop. Create- link to application

change the name, change the ikon to what you would like/want -rather than the gear wheel than,

tab execute, then browse to the application -usually a bin file in bin, usr/bin, sbin, etc.

If you do not know where the main file is located to start then look at the files in the rpm uninstall program (if you loaded it via RPM), unlike RH they have seperated install and uninstall so finding the file is more difficult. The start of the application is a bin file which you test works with an open terminal window in that directory.
Click OK, The chosen ikon will launch your program.
