Hi allanwang77,
man whereis says: "The whereis command locates the source, binary, and manuals sections for specified files"
but I want also to search different kind of text/conf files not only executables.

Hi zxmaus,
I think I'll give it a try, findutils says that it includes:
- find - search for files in a directory hierarchy
- locate - list files in databases that match a pattern
- updatedb - update a file name database
- xargs - build and execute command lines from standard input
what about the find/xargs executables that are running on the system, are they replaced when installing findutils?
