Well, I have installed "serna-free-4.2-4.2.0-20091009.i686.rpm". It hasn't put any icon I can click to start it, there is nothing in /bin or /usr/bin, so I don't even know how to start it.
One way to view the files an RPM is installing is using the -ql option of rpm, that is
rpm -ql serna-free | grep /bin/
Which is helpful for the technically inclined, but not for the end user. For a perfect user experience (in an ideal world), installing a package foo should make 'something' of the name foo appear in the system. This something could be - a desktop icon, - a menu entry, - something the desktop search can find, or - (at least!) a command on the command line. Just my humble opinion, ignoring any feasability. I checked out serna yesterday to see, if a desktop file could be easily added. Just to find out, that serna does not even compile on 11.2 and up. cheers, JW- -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de back to ascii! __/ _---|____________/ \ | 0911 74053-508 __/ (____/ /\ (/) | _____________________________/ _/ _ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "You are trying to use packages from project 'openSUSE:11.2'.
