That means you have slocate installed but it is not being updated by its overnight cron job. The most likely reason being your computer is not switched on overnight! Open your MandrakeControl Centre>Software>Software Install and install the anacron package. Anacron checks for cron jobs which have been missed and runs them 15 mins after the computer has been switched on. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
