| I installed XMMP (I hope this is the media player) in Mandrake 8.2. All went
well except how do I access it. All I can see that the install did was put
in directory with sub-directories and some files. I know there is no file
ext. in Linux so how do I know what the EXE file is. Or did I leave
something out? Thanks

I think you mean xmms, actually.

If "which xmms" returns something like "/usr/bin/xmms" (or anything
other than "not found") then just type "xmms" to run. Depending on
your shell you can even start typing the command and pressing the Tab
key to see a list of possible programs which can be run (beginning
with the letters you've typed so far).

There's the "which" command. To find out what a given file is
you can type:
file filename
This works on lists (i.e. "file *"). You also can combine the
above commands e.g.
file `which xmms`
