Contents->Front Ends
Endeavour's front ends are programs that provide a GUI (Graphical User Interface) to some common command line programs that are used to maintain drives, modify disks, or manage files.
All of Endeavour's front ends are located in:
/usr/lib/endeavour2/bin/
Most front ends require a third party command line application (which is detected at runtime). For example, the Download Front End requires the wget program.
