Doc, That's because the program is in /usr/bin/ not /usr/sbin. I think the original poster had a finger slip.(Like I haven't done this a few hundred times myself.) To verify just type which update-menus and it will tell you full path. Or better yet just type update-menus, and it will run. (Warning it doesn't look like anything happens, since it immediately returns, don't worry it runs in the background for a couple of minutes before the menu's reappear.) The program that supplies this is menu-2.1.5-123mdk, and this is one disk 1 of your 9.2 disks. This is a manditory rpm so it should be already on you disk. james > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: PGP 8.0 -- QDPGP 2.70 > Comment: http://community.wow.net/grt/qdpgp.html > > iQA/AwUBP5FeiWnXrLw2KRK4EQJPCwCgjQyRm3X6MXWe1EgWRoLQEoh+lzIAn00R > k5876rEWuq2EHK0n3AMNjbZz > =i+hm > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
