My simple understanding is you need to run updatedb to recreate the index file that locate uses. "updatedb" I think can only be run as root. Good luck.

I'm trying to get fedora going, so I downloaded the rpm for apt and synaptic and installed them. I think. I ran rpm -i filename. Then I tried "locate apt-get" and got nothing. And "locate synaptic", also nothing. then I tried just running apt-get, it worked. Why is the locate command letting me down? How do I find out where rpm installed synaptic? thanks, TDB _______________________________________________ LUAU mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://videl.ics.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/luau
