Very pleased thus far with this computer. But I do have a question. Upon a first install of unix when you go to the terminal and try to run the "locate" command you get this: locate:: no database file /var/db/locate.database I get that on my new mac too. In unix it is easy to login as root and run "updatedb", then you are all done. However, when I run that on my Mac I get updatedb command noty found. What do I need to do? Is there a super user account? or am I thinking too linux and not enough Mac? Thanks, Dave</blockquote>
