installing downloaded file: lIghtscribe

[Tom Bell]

Doug,

You should find it in the "Utilities" menu of the KMenu.  If not then 
you should find it in the /usr/bin directory.  Be very careful with 
this.  If you don't find it in the "Utilities" menu then you can add it 
by <right clicking> on the KMenu and selecting to add a new item in the 
section you select.  This is a necessary step before putting it on the 
desktop.  Once you have an icon and enter the path to the command in the 
command line of the item.

Before you do anything else, make sure the file is not found in the 
"Utilities" menu of the KMenu.  Otherwise you could be duplicating 
needlessly.

If you still can't find it, then at the commandline type:

apt-cache pkgnames | grep kfind

Good luck!
