Hi Tom and Onur,
(Thanks for the tip Onur - sometimes GUI progs are best when just
starting off, but I'm getting the hang of the commandline now and
prefer it - most the time <g>) Say, can I type ? or help... at
the prompt and get a list of commands?

Thanks! I did find out about whereis from a friend trying to get
a PERL script to run to fix the problem of not seeing my last
partion in Windows. I hope where the Installation Problems page
at Mandrake says (D:\) or second partition to be seen/fixed it
means the last drive as well. So, far no luck, but I have
somebody helping with that. Anyway, PERL and wine was found
right away with whereis and not like my friend said that it might
take a very long time and suggest another command for a text file
output. It appears you imply that it might take hours as well.
Linux cam back with both PERL and Wine lickity-split.

I have both the above files and just wine. I seems to not being
seeing all my extensions and perhaps not all files and folder
though, because when I do say whereis perl and wine:
[root@localhost /root]# whereis perl
perl: /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/man/man1/perl.1.bz2
[root@localhost /root]# whereis wine
wine: /etc/wine.conf /usr/X11R6/bin/wine /usr/bin/X11/wine
I do not see a /usr/bin/perl nor a /usr/share/ It only goes to
/usr/bin with a /X11/ in it. Don't know where a show all setting is.

OK, I will certainly check. For some odd reason the Search in my
Linux Help docs does not work. I can click and read, etc., but
that is very time consuming especially when one does not know
what he is looking for. :-)
Does this list always have a 12-24hr lag in posts being received?
Thanks!
