You should be able to install slocate or just run updatedb. I would also make
sure that anacron is running so that the database gets update periodically.
Tried running updatedb, and got smacked for trying to make a database
without permission.
Tried running slocate, downloading slocate, installing slocate : nuffin
but alligators.
Mandrake 10.1 and Kanotix had file finders that worked.
Even MicroKlutz XP has file finder.
Gnome-find not found.
Urpmi remains inscrutable.
Followed recent advice to disable disc as urpmi source. That worked.
This love/hate thing with linux is wearing me down.
