to run LimeWire without being in the directory of LimeWire you have to open up your console, and then

su
your root password

ln -s /yourdirectorytoLimeWire/LimeWire/LimeWire /usr/bin

then everytime you type LimeWire from your home directory as any user, it will open LimeWire automatically

Create a start-up script
open an editor and type:

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/myhome/LimeWire ( type the path
to your limewire directory)
./LimeWire

Save as lime to /usr/local/bin or /home/myhome/bin. start by opening
a terminal and typing lime or add to your
menu and desktop. Make it executable by
checking properties and check the box or
in a terminal type chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/lime
