where XX is replaced by the current build number.
You will need to be logged in as root to install Kick-off! for Linux. As root, issue the following command:
rpm -Uvh Kickoff-1.0.0-XX.i386.rpm (where XX is the build number)

After you successfully install the RPM, you will need to use kickoff-gui to turn monitoring on. kickoff-gui is installed in the /usr/local/bin directory. Before running kickoff-gui, you should open Gnome.
In order to monitor applications which do not have built-in support, you may need to use the Launcher program. See Using Launcher for more information.
