It is case sensitive. For instance: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> find /usr/share/doc -name xerces* /usr/share/doc/packages/xerces-j2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> find /usr/share/doc -name Xerces* /usr/share/doc/packages/Xerces-c Good idea to look with 'find', but you can use as reference: man hier it is manual about linux file system hierarchy. Not everyone respects it, but 99% do, and it is good to know where to start, as: find / -name "mplayer* will scan whole file system, and /usr/share/doc some 260 MB (here). Whole file system can contain hundreds of GB, have mounted USB external drives and network mounts that can be huge. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
