TOC Linux

[Paul Sutton]

I guess this applies to people who having written a nice installer for a 
game or program then leave the user in the deep end by not telling them 
where the binary for the program is,  I had the sense to use file search 
but it took ages, eventually found it buried locally in a hidden 
directory, tree.  there was no option to put this on the kde menu,  or 
any dialog telling me where it was,  (it also helps when there is a text 
file or similar to) put important info in bold or underline so it stands 
out   even a desktop link would have beem useful  that way I could have 
looked at the properties adn done a kde menu link manually with kmenu.

There were lots of problems with users installing open office adn not 
reading the install screen which asks "do you want to open MS office 
files with Openoffice)  I may have suggested that that screen should be 
made to stand out more,  as it's important, I never really related to it 
that much partly as I have never had the problem because I read that 
first, but also needed too as MS office is not even on my computer.
