How do I determine where an application is installed in Fedora Core 3? I have installed a couple of apps using RPMs and I do not know how to start them. I have found Netscape which from the terminal I type '/.Netscape' and it sounded like it was starting, waited for a few minutes and returned to the command prompt.

Thanks in advance!

Hi All,

Jason, you can do a whereis 'filenane', minus the quotes and it should tell you where it is. Below is an examle for firefox,

[root@localhost ~]# whereis firefox
firefox: /usr/bin/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz

or which
[root@localhost ~]# which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
HTH. Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
