>I have just installed MDK 8.2 in VMware and cannot find where
wmware-linux-tools are located (after doing the preliminary install from
vmware itself. In every previous linux distro that I have used I would have
used "locate wmware-linux-tools". However, for some reason I cannot fathom,
that wonderful tool (i.e. locate) has been left out and "find" is hardly a
reasonable substitute. I just finished reading 3 pages of docs on "find" and
it seems a little...complex.

There are other programs like whereis, slocate(oops! that is actually
locate), and find should be did like so:
find /dir -name 'my.slf' -print
substitute /dir for the directory you are trying to look in and it will
recursively read every sub folder in that directory tree. Of course replace
my.slf with the search that you are seeking (ie *.bin, mandrake-re*, and
README) Don't forget the single " ' " quotes. Always leave -print as is if
you want it to print it's query information to the screen.
