    Editing "Ubuntu Software Center" entry in Main Menu

    Here's a real newbie question for ya...

    I don't care too much for Karmic's new graphical installer, "Ubuntu Software Center" Instead I prefer to use the older gnome-app-install. All I want to do is edit the entry in the Main Menu to launch the older installer. The problem is that 'alacarte' doesn't even show the "Ubuntu Software Center" item for editing or removal so it's kinda hard-coded in. But the beauty of Linux is that nearly everything is possible.

    So how about it? Can someone please tell me how to edit this item or at least remove it? If I end up removing it and creating a new menu entry, how can I put it in its own 'pecial place in the menu where the current entry resides?

    Thanks in advance,

    tgeer

    Is it not at the bottom of the list for applications?

    Isn't that a screenshot of Lucid? the OP is talking about Karmic.

    But it is listed in Karmic.

    Well, so it is.

    For some reason I was looking for it in the left-hand pane and never even looked to the right.

    Serious brain cramp...

    Thanks,
