[CLUE-Tech] Suse questions

[Ethan Waldman]

According to the SuSE support DB, the locate command is no longer  a part of 
the standard installation; But it is in the distribution in a package called 
findutils-locate which you can install with YaST2.

A good source of help for SuSE is their knowledge-base at 
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/index.html.

Thanks,

Ethan Waldman
