Helix/Ximian

I've recently move to the Gnome/Ximian (used to be Helix) environment.

Over at the gnome/ximian sites i've read about an auto-updater (seemed much like windowsupdate) for Ximian, i ran the shell command

the ximian.updater page suggested but i guess i got it all wrong

 

    lynx -source http://go-gnome.com | sh

 

will not, as i pressumed, upgrade/update helix but will just update the gnome installation and/or perform a gnome install.

Since i have installed Ximian (helix actually) i don't have any updates to run. http://www.ximian.org/desktop/updater.php3 for more info

 

It seems i have nothing like

    $ helix-update

installed anywhere on my system yet still i chose to install helix and it claims it did ...

 

 

The screenshot's i saw showed an icon on the desktop to run the updater but i cannot find it anywhere and i don't know how to get it there

 

 

 

Any suggestions ?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance,
