So you will find the programs usually in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin. Once they are installed, they aren't automatically registered, I suppose. You can run them by going to the directory in which they are, and do ./{file name}. Easier is to do a 'rehash' (which doesn't work in sh and bash, so switch to csh). And there is of course the M$ method: reboot :-) Marc Marc Schneiders || In re tam justa || nulla est deliberatio! marc@venster.nl || marc@oldserver.demon.nl || Acta SS. MM.
