I found a solution to that updatedb problem. Do this: 1) slocate -u / 2) updatedb & The system will be slow for a bit, but it doesn't error out anymore. If the above doesn't work, you me need to do this before step 1 above: 1) pico /var/lib/slocate/slocate 2) Don't type anything, just save and exit as a blank file Nick
