As others have pointed out, you need to use find or locate. find / -name php.ini -print or locate php.ini
It's evident that locate is far easier, but locate is only as good as it's database. The updatedb program updates the locate database. It is run when you first install. If, however, you clicked a link on a webpage to download your favorite new mp3 and say forgot where you put the file, locate wouldn't find it unless you ran updatedb first to get a new listing of files. Just wanted to throw that caveat in. <<JAV>> On Tue, 2003-03-04 at 07:39, Jim Hale wrote: > I know that I'm still REALLY new to Linux (Obviously) but am trying to > figure out how to find a file. > > Say, I wanted to find php.ini, what would I need to type in? > > Thanks! :) > > Jim Hale > --- > 'The OS Tells The PC What To Do With Itself" - Me,1990 > --- > Visit Our Personal Website at http://hale.dyndns.org, Our Forums at > http://haleforum.dyndns.org or Our Photo Galleries at > http://halegallery.dyndns.org. > > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
