Another useful tool is slocate and kio_locate. (kio_locate is in the contrib mirror) Install those packages (install anacron too) and then run updatedb as root. You can then find any file on your computer to do with those apps. For example from the command line use 'slocate xmms' From konqueror enter locate://xmms/ in the url line A cron job will run daily to reindex the locate database (that is why anacron is required) derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
