Very good point. It just so happens findutils-locate is my favorite search tool and I can not recall it ever being installed by default.
It was default up to around 7.x. I still enabled for 8.x, but then HDD became fast enough to use 'find' directly and get an answer in reasonable time. Bye, CzP
Hard drives also became larger as did the distros, so no gain there. Even on 10K revs SCSI disks on Solaris, find was a pain, still is on Linux. When find is all you have, you cuss, then you count the overtime earnings, that was the beauty of Solaris. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
