well, the way i do is open up a terminal

and type

locate blah

and if it doesn't turn anything up

type in as root

updatedb

then
as a normal user

locate blah


or goto the find files in the k button

Master of Reality:
in a terminal you type 'find / file' where '/' is the directory you want to search. Or oyu could go to 'find files' under the K button.

to check if you have samba try doing:
rpm -qa | grep samba
that will query all hte RPMs and search for a samba package.

By "K Button" I assume you mean "K Menu"   ;)

The Reason I was asking about the find file is so that I can search for Samba on the pooter or the CD's.

Also, how do I set up this pooter with Linux to run on a windows network?  Do I use the Network Config app in the configuration menu?  If so what values do I need to type in?  When it refers to "Host", does that mean the computer that I am on or the server?

I know that I should know this but it's been a while since I helped set up the windows network (when I say helped, I played a VERY small part).  

Thanx for the replies!!!  You guys are great!  Can't find people like ya'll on a Microlicks forum!  

TheGreatPoo:
Sorry BOB, meant to post before you (I'm slow).  

Master of Reality:
you dont really need to setup anything. host, refers to the current computers hostname.

hmmmmm... instead of using the network configuration thing in the configuration menu, i suggest downloading webmin. Its a configuration program that runs in your browser (all you do is type in your local IP or localhost port 10000). It can be used to configure anything in Linux.

Are you running a DHCP server on your gateway to the internet? No, good. All you need to do is set your computers IP, hostname, domainname (i think thats it).

I dunno if you need the domainname set, but to set it you go into a terminal and type 'domainname mycomputer.poo.local' or whatever you want it to be. I think it might have to be the same network as your other computers. My computers are all something.master.local (except my external interface to the internet because I'm on cable).

The hostname can be set by typing 'hostname whatever' in the terminal. I dunno how to set the IP from the terminal.
