It runs nightly around 2am. If you install your OS before that, it obviously won't runt until the first nights cron tells it to. I run it after a fresh install, and after installing or copying on a large number of files. Another way to find files is this. # find / -name file-name-to-find But locate file-name-to-find is nicer. -- -=/>Thom Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche) running Linux Kernel 2.4.18-14 Uptime: 3:48pm up 2 days, 1:19, 1 user, load average: 1.23, 1.21, 1.18 Registered Linux User #214499 http://counter.li.org
