After a succesful installation, helix-update can be found in
/opt/gnome/bin (on my system, so in other words : ${GNOME_DIR}/bin). In
can also be accessed via the gnome-menu in the System submenu (Helix
GNOME update). However you need to be root to be able to install the
packages downloaded by helix-update. Easier said:

- Start a terminal
- Su to root
- start /opt/gnome/bin/helix-update
