Hi Rik, Further to this, just in case you're not that familiar with Linux: in the list of installed files, look for the ones in /bin, /usr/bin (or maybe /usr/local/bin) - these will be the ones that you actually run. How do you actually run it now you know the name? Either open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal), or use the Run Application dialog (Alt-F2). Then type the name you found from Dianne's suggestion. HTH, and hope I'm not sounding patronising.
