I installed Xine in Mandrake Linux 9.1. Now I dont know how to open xine. Where the linux software will get installed? What is the exe file for linux.

Linux doesn't have .exe files though files may be given executable rights ... anyway look in /usr/local, /usr/local/share & /usr/share you may find it. To run it type ./filename

BTW, you installed it using RPM? If so most graphical rpm managers show the list of the files installed by the RPM & where they are installed

ujjwal told you everything... however you can give this command to find the location of xine.
$ which xine

to run xine, just open the run dialog or a terminal and type xine

I WANT TO KNOW HOW CAN I SHORTCUT OF XINE/XMMS ON MY DESKTOP?

**GNUrag** · 25-11-2004, 08:06 PM

create a shortcut by right-clicking on your desktop.... in the target link give the path that you get after you execute $ which xine ...

you can also add a custom pixmap to it !
