I'm wondering if it's possible to get the locate and find commands added to OS2008. Those are hugely useful and I use them a lot in regular Linux and BSD.

I think find is already there?
Code:
~ $ find --help BusyBox v1.6.1 (2008-05-22 10:32:35 EEST) multi-call binary Usage: find [PATH...] [EXPRESSION]

I use these scripts to find files easily. I run updatedb every so often to update the database; and run "locate matchingtext" to find file or directory names that match "matchingtext"
updatedb.sh
locate.sh
updatedb.sh
Code:
find / -print > /media/mmc2/db/locate.db
Code:
## script to find file from database created with updatedb.sh grep "$1" /media/mmc2/db/locate.db | more

That's busybox find, which is notably deficient vs. GNU find. I think I've seen a couple of GNU find packages; one dumped it with the name find with the prefix /usr/something/, and the other installed it with prefix /usr/, but named it gnufind. Don't have either of them on now, though...
Edit: And it becomes apparent that terrencegf already posted this; guess I scrolled right past somehow:
As for locate, mlocate is available from debfarm -- .install for the repo is http://www.gronmayer.com/it/dl.php?id=205

Well, I tried bluesubaru's method and got errors about too many files open. As for terrencegf, I'll have to give that a spin later.
