2 questions on LimeWire/Mandrake behavior
 
Hey, I got LimeWire installed and i'm loving it but i have two questions. The first is, is there any way to add a quick link to it on the KDE menu or desktop? The reason I ask this is due to my second question. When I installed the program, it installed it in the root directory and when i'm on anything but root, i have to type my SU password through the console and that means i can't just drag and drop the run file. Is there a way to get around the root install? (And if there is, how do I uninstall the previous one so i can reinstall this)

Thanks so much and thanks for the wonderful program!

my solution
 
first for customize your kde menu you
can right click on the kmenu button (usually bottom left corner) an choose menu editor.
It launch the menudrake tools.

Next installing LimeWire in the root directory is
not a good idea expect if you always use the root account (very bad idea).
In my way I launch the LimeWire installation programma as root user in normal user session and I change the default installation directory to /opt.
After installation I create two directory Incomplete and Shared on my user directory
(/home/user/...) next I make a new entry in my kde menu to /opt/LimeWire/LimeWire.

Some advice: always limit the use of root access this why normal user can access to root directory even in read access and than konqueror ask you to give your root password.
