Try creating a locate database, using locate -u as root. Then use loate, or whereis to find your files. kfm resides in /usr/bin. The filename is, as it should be, "kfm". In linux, there need not be a file extention to denote an executable, scrpt, or other file. Executable files are set with the attributes r -read, w -write, and x -execute. Directories have an additional attribute d -directory. If you type ls at the command line, you will see these attributes listed in the left column. "drwxrwxrwx" The first character, if "d" means directory, if "-", file. the first "rwx" are the root permissions, the second, group permissions, and the third, user permissions. "kfm" is writeable by root, read- and exectuable by all with permissions set to "-rwxr-xr-x" --Greg >>> Forwarded Message <<< howdy all.... what i'm trying to do is put KFM or a shortcut to KFM in my autostart folder so that it will fire up each time i log on. however, i can't seem to find the actual file. i used one of the "find" options to search for a file with KFM*.*...... got a ton of files. so i tried selecting "executable files" as an option.... still didn't get anything that seemed to be it. being a newbie & DOS type... do Linux executables all have certain extensions? like COM, BAT and EXE for DOS/WIN? anyone know exactly where i can find the KFM executable? thanks much Adrian Smith 'de telepone dude Telecom Dept. x 7042 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________________ Vous avez un site perso ? 2 millions de francs � gagner sur i(france) !
