And possibly giving some other pointers within your own system 
e.g. 
	using rpm to see which package your binary is a part of
	and what other files are normally included in this package

	using the programs locate, which, man

	checking for messages in /var/log/messages ( which could
	also mean checking tty10 )

	
And then if/when people do ask for help, suggesting some basic info
to provide :
	distribution name and version

	version of software which is causing problems

	error messages if any 

Anything else ?
