Of course, that is the way to find executables that are in the environmentally defined search path. What I was suggesting was a quick and easy way of looking at the locations of files belonging to a particular package, and not necessarily just the executables. (The package does not need to be installed, either) Of course one could also run "rpm -ql <packagename>" for a similar result, without the navigability. cheers Duncan Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
