Starting Krusader

Type krusader (lower case) at a command prompt. You can create shortcut on your desktop or create an entry in the (KDE) menu. Read the previous page and the FAQ if Krusader doesn't start.

When Krusader is started from the command line, various options can be specified to modify its behavior.

    	$ krusader
    	WARNING: Mt.Man: Born, looking around to get familiar. foo

Note

Do not worry about the messages you get in the Konsole. These messages are log messages that can be used for debugging Krusader.

You can also use Alt+F2 to open the Run Command dialog box, type krusader (lower case) and press Enter or click on the Run button.

If Krusader is installed by an RPM or DEB package then usually Krusader can be started from the K menu. e.g. on Mandrake™-Linux® 10.0 click on the icon button and choose Applications->File tools->Krusader .
