If you want to find a file you should use 'find' or locate. : find / -name "whatever-you-re-looking-for" or use locate, but before you can use locate you have to create the locate database. When you search frequently it's advisable to use locate since it's faster. Though wheter the results are acurate depends on the last time you updated your locate database so: /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb locate whateveryourelookingfore locate somethingelse locate another thing GL and HF in FreeBSD -- -Frank Staals
