fresh off the boat

[Tab Gilbert]

Just starting but can not figure out (find) how to make make an
application run (show up) on the menu.


from a gnome-terminal type:

sudo apt-get install bittorrent

So it says I have it installed but I can not find where it is located.
 Got a folder to appear under the applications menu but get confused
after that.  I go to Create Laucher and then can not find bittorrent
and do not know the proper command.

Did the:
applications:////
which did not work.  

Everything I have seen in the various help/documentation sections just
seems to assume I know something which is not the case.  I am missing
this small vital link.

Goal:
Install and run bittorrent to get the livecd
figure out how to do a checksum cause I have done 3 direct downloads
of hoary and everyone of them shows a bad checksum during install.


Sorry for jumping around (still learning how to format an inquiry) 
and asking a very basic question but I getting frustrated with
something that should be rather simple.

Next:
can see hp psc 2210 printer but spits out  page with !PS_Adobe-3.0
etc. at top and then keeps throwing out blank pages uptil empty.

Thank you to everyone involved in this operation,
