icons??

[nimwa2]

well i installed firefox and it worked n all but where does the exe go?? i cant find the icon anywhere only the folder... where do they hide?? oh and how can i find my local ip?

In linux there should not be any exe file. If you install it from rpm, then you can got the program simple typing the name on terminal. And if you install it from source, you need to enter that folder, and use ./filename


use ifconfig to see your local ip, also network details , you must have to use su first.

yea but there surely must be a click icon.. imean you have to start all your programs from the terminal thinggy ??

[S. M. Ibrahim]

you can make icon your self. First make mouse right click, select Create new-> link to application ->application and in command box just enter the program name, then you will get a icon with that command. Then you can just click and use that application.

It's ifconfig, not ipconfig. You should be running it as root in a terminal as well, by the way.

You don't have to run the cammand as root, as long as you give it's full path:

the command

/sbin/ifconfig

should work as any user

I might be wrong, but I think you cannot perform 'real' actions as regular user executing /sbin/ifconfig. When you try to shut down the interface, it won't work. (Not sure though).
