I (as a newbie jumping from RH), have a question: why I cannot acces the updatedb and locate commands in Suse 8.2, although I see that they are mentioned in the manual? The package is no more installed by default. It is called "findutils-locate". To install it without yast, put in your first (or any) CD and do zgrep findutils-locate INDEX.gz This will spit out the disc it is on. You can then manually install it from commandline (rpm -ivh findutils-locate....rpm). If you don't know the package, try zgrep bin.locate ARCHIVES.gz (only on the first CD) ^This could also be "\/", but "." is shorter to write ;)
