Hi!
I am now to the point of being able
to install and use programs under RH Linux
5.2. Last evening I installed StarOffice 5.0,
for example, and will be consulting the archives
on how to register it. :-)
Now, how do I go about starting it up
without having to wade through countless direct-
ories to find an executable file? In DOS to start
programs one could use a series of batch files
located in a directory that was in the path. Is
that how it is done in Linux? And how would I do
it if it is necessary to start X-Windows first,
then the program? Can one construct a multi-step
"batch" file?
Thanks for the help!
