Re: How Do I Find A File On The HD?

[Andre Kirchner <sieg1974 yahoo com>]

Jin,

find works fine when you know the complete name of the
file, but in case you want to look for a file which
has the "host" substring in the name for example, try

find / | grep host

or if you even doesn't know if this substring has
capital letters or not, try

find / | grep -i host

Hope it helps you,

Andre
