You need to be root user to use urpmi Enter 'su' in a terminal to become root. Alternatively do it the 'GUI' way and use the Software Installer in your Mandrake Control Centre to install slocate. While you are there install anacron as well and your system will then do daily housekeeping tasks including keeping the slocate database up to date. slocate is *very* fast. I think you will like it. The downside is, it will only find files which have been 'indexed', so it will not find newly installed files. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
