Help

Hello everyone im new to linux and need help
i have installed openSUSE 11 ive sucessfully installed new programs with yast the problem is i cant find the programs after its all done how can i make shortcuts on the desktop to access the programs i have installed please help

Did you try to click on the Computer option on the taskbar, made sure you’re on the applications tab, click “More Programs” and then drag the icons onto the Desktop?

i dont have the option of more apps i tried going to root/usr/bin and looking around in there but that didnt work

You can use the whereis command in a konsole to find your newly installed program.
Example:

lindy@lindys_contraption:~> whereis quake
quake: /usr/local/games/quake
