Hello Anthony,

What happens when you open a terminal emulator (might be
called xterm on your menu, or konsole, or gterm...) and
type:

   xconq <enter>

?


You could also type

   man xconq

or 

   info xconq

and see what that tells you.

I don't know if Mandrake's RPM includes the docs but have
a look for xconq-doc - probably in /usr/share/doc/ somewhere.


But first, just to see where RPM has put the package, become
root with 

   su -c
   [password]

then

   updatedb

then 

   locate xconq

The executable will most probably be in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
and if typing xconq doesn't run it it's because wherever it's
located is not in your path. Type the full path, eg.:

   /usr/games/xconq

and that should do it :-)


Let us know how you get on.
