This only works for files already on your system which is ok if thats what you want. If like in this case you are trying to locate a binary thats not installed - how do you find what package its in? For me its down to googling and seeing what other distros use and map that back to a gentoo package as far as I can see. BillK -- William Kenworthy <[email protected]> Home in Perth!
