It even has scripts that use updatedb (cron jobs) but no updatedb binary. Furthermore, 'rpm -qlp *.rpm' reveals that it is not included in any package. After quite a lot of effort installing pre-R5 a couple of weeks ago I reverted back to my creaky barely-R4 from ages ago because I was so shocked that the most useful tool for feeling your way in a new installation was simply not there. It gives the impression of a very not-ready product, which is counter to the impression I get from you folks. I just checked back today after a couple of weeks to find a few packages updated on 15 Jan, but not findutils. Just curious! Cheers, ira [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
