I had to load "slocate" manually on install of the OS. My point is that "slocate" isn't for NEWBs from what I gathered otherwise like locate it would be installed as well. I'm a paranoid little Pengy so when I read "slocate" is more secure...I installed it. -- Femme Good Decisions You boss Made: "We'll do as you suggest and go with Linux.
