How to find files?
 
Does anyone know how to find files in the main memory?

I've tried from root (/) as root
ls -R | grep jpeg
but I get a segmentation fault. If I just do ls -R, it gets as far as
./mnt/initfs/sys/module/nousb/parameters/:
and keeps repeating that line - strange.

I get the same thing whether I'm SSH'd in or if I'm using xterm on the tablet.

The version of 'find' on the tablet seems non-standard.
If I try
find / -iname "*00_15*"
it complains that that its not valid syntax.

All I'm trying to do is to find where some pictures created by the camera on internal memory are stored!!!

The tablets use busybox for the shell and utilities, which are more limited than the usual. "-iname" seems to not be supported, try "-name".

Thanks. That worked. :)
Any idea why ls -R gets hung up?

(Incidently, I found the default system directories (documents, games, images etc) are hidden directories under /home/user/MyDocs/, but I suppose thats common knowledge).
Thanks again.
