Running installed programs

[rgrwtrs]

I am new to Fedora and this is probably a silly question.

If I install an RPM program, specifically a game, and it doesn't put it in the App>games menu in Gnome, how do you run the program.

Thanks.

ok, I figured out how to do it in Terminal, is there a way to do in using Gnome? Also, if you don't know the name of the game how do you find out in Terminal?

Thanks

GNOME

If you right-click on the Applications menu and select edit (or hit System->Preferences->More preferences->Menu layout), you can add menu items and specify the command the item runs.

RPM

I'm not so good at rpm. :o) Try rpm -ql <package name>; I believe that will show you the location of all files installed via that package. "man rpm" is your friend.

If you don't have the full package name, try "rpm -qa | grep <part of package name>" and that should show you the whole name.

(Quick edit :: you don't need the entire qualified name in that query. But you might get back more than you want to dig through if it's too general. Try "rpm -ql yum" to see what I mean....!)

Hope this helps.
