Does "locate" find symbolic links? The reason I ask is because I'm trying to install the blackdown jre so that entering just "java" will start it. I deleted all the kaffe stuff and every instance of "java" that I could find. I put the new jre on the path. But when I enter "java" I get: [root@wsrc206 bin]# java bash: /usr/bin/java: No such file or directory ..which tells me that somewhere there's a symlink pointing to /usr/bin/java. No? But a "locate" after a fresh "updatedb" does not turn up any instances of "java" other than directory names and the new "java" of the blackdown distribution. Entering the full path of the new java works fine. -- Lane ____ Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA ---- Using Linux to get where I want to go...
