Hi Betty, To use the mlocate package in Kubutun, you can just enter: # locate $filepart |more or for binaries in your $PATH, # which $filename Of course if you are not in a su or root session, you will only search your own $PATH. If your locate database has not been updated (by cron - setup when the mlocate package is installed by dpkg) you can also not find things. You can manually update this with: # updatedb & If you have a huge mounted partition that you don't want to include, you can configure your /etc/located.conf to ignore that mount or filesystem. The mlocate package has various Buntu installation bugs, so you might need to verify it: # find / -name updatedb On Sat, Jun 30, 2012 at 3:35 PM, Michael Havens wrote: > I have an 'mlocate.db' but not slocate.
