I use the locate command often to find files on my machine. How can I act
on that list?
For example, I do
locate -i bozo
and get a list of all files containing bozo in the name. Now I want to copy
all those files into a new directory. I've tried various combinations of
pipe to something, but no joy.

Locate is such an easy command and finds everything I need, while using
find I need a bunch of parameters I can never remember.

Thanks for any ideas.

Michael
