if you're not sure where a file went, there are a couple ways to find it. one o$ the ways is to run (as root) "updatedb". this updates the database for our next program, locate. run "locate filename" where filename is what you're looking for. another way to find a file is with "find".. it goes something like this:
find path_to_start_looking_in -name filename you can use wildcard in the name, too. so, for example, say i made a file that had "peter" in the name, but i can't remember the whole name or where i put it. if i run "find ~/ -name *peter*" it will find any file (recursively) in my home directory. i could also do "find / -name *peter*" to search the whole computer. hope that hels, -peter On Fri, 7 Mar 2003, justin bradley wrote: > Date: Fri, 07 Mar 2003 18:08:29 -0700 > From: justin bradley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [newbies] (no subject) > > > Thanks for the help with the last part of my question.
