I think that would be too limited to search for installed programs. You could maybe start with 'echo $PATH' to at least see what directories your current shell will be looking in for executable files. No guarantee your she'll environment is set up right though. Also, wasn't Fedora going to do away with user bin? Or is that the one they are keeping? Maybe I dreamed that! A better approach might be to use your package manager. I have dpkg installed for that purpose on my systems. To check/search for if say xterm is installed I could do the following; >>dpkg --get-selections | grep xterm lxterminal xterm This should find the program in question and any other executable file with the string xterm in it. The path in my shell shouldn't matter. > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
