Downloading and "installing" the .DEB file was easy. But how do I launch the program? The web site says "command line only". How do I get a command prompt in the N810? Is that X-terminal? What command should I enter to launch gphoto2?

I can't find Gphoto2 in the File Manager. In fact the File Manager doesn't show ANY "application" files! It only shows "media" files. That's really bizarre to this PC guy accustomed to seeing all files in Windows Explorer.

So I have several fundamental questions:

1. Where are applications stored?
2. Is there an application that allows me to see application files using File Manager or a similar graphical program?
3. What is the nomenclature to run a program from the command prompt?
4. Can I create a shortcut for gphoto2 in one of my task launcher categories? Or would a script be required to do that?

I don't think I'm an idiot but I sure feel like one. It's like reading a foreign language when I search for information on any given topic. You guys have been really helpful, though!
