Re: locate , updatedb (was "Lost icons..")

If you have a dos/vfat/windows ptn, don't forget to check/edit the last? 
line of /etc/updatedb.conf and make sure vfat is NOT in the list of 
filesystems to exclude.

Caused a lot of muttering around here until I edited the conf file and 
reran updatedb.

Personally I find it easier to remember:
        locate          // finds files from the index
        locate - u              // refreshes the index (same as
'updatedb')
