Apps :: How to open a program?



Sorry about that dumb question,but i really need to know what command i should use.
I've googled it/searched the forum/FAQ and found nothing.

Can someone please explain it?
I've tried
run firefox
open firefox
nothing works.

there are no icons on the desktop.

Thanks
- by default DSL boots with icons on the desktop.
- check the md5 of the downloaded iso
- verify you have burned the iso correctly
- Use the menu to re-enable a full desktop w/ icons

Perhaps you meant you disabled the icons, the command to run firefox would be 'firefox' in console afaik.
What are your system specs? If you don't have that much ram you might not get icon's on the desktop as well.
And if you don't have enough ram to display icons, you definitely don't have enough to run firefox.

I've downloaded the latest version of DSL;
the checksum is ok;
today i've burned the iso again;

How can I use the menu to re-enable the icons? I didn't see any option.

I'm using the live CD and there are no icons on the desktop(really).

I have 512MB ram.

Also "firefox" command(without the quotation marks) doesn't work.
