I didn't test gwhere because I wasn't aware of it. gnomecatalog and as I recall all the others I tested, except cdcat, wouldn't show files when I did some random file search. I knew which files I had, so I searched and most of them wouldn't find them even if they indexed them! Only cdcat worked as expected! Is there a chance for cdcat to be included in fedora repos? It is not the most nicest looking program but it does the job - and does it perfectly! -- http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.
