<para>&krusader; has a &GUI; front end for
the
<command>locate</command> command (findutils). Locate is used for
fast file searching not from a directory but a database. The
package contains two files,
<command>locate</command> and
<command>updatedb</command>. Updatedb goes through the local
file system and stores the file entries in the database.
<command>cron</command> often calls
<command>updatedb</command> every night (set with Kcron). Choose
