Bug Description

I'm using Flight 6 and when I installed new games via the More Programs... (in the Applications menu - can be also Add Programs - I'm using localised version) the games' binaries go to /usr/games and no link is made to /usr/bin.

/usr/games is not in the PATH, so the games' dont start!

Thanks for your bug. I've been assured that /usr/games is in fact in the PATH environment variable of dapper. What do you get when you type

echo $PATH

in a gnome-terminal?

/usr/games is in the $PATH on a default install (see /etc/environment)

In a fresh install of Dapper Beta2, /usr/games is indeed in the default PATH of a new user.

Allright.

I installed using the oem-mode and that didn't create any users (a bug in that package). Therefore I had to add the user with adduser and that's where I'm at.
