Can we use only certain utilities from the package, say "locate"
What has to be done for this?

Thanks in advance.

To avoid confusion with the original system commands, I kept a g prefix on all additional command: you would therefore have gfind ... for locate, dont forget to initiate then (using cron...) update on a regular basis its DB a good practice for history prupose is to archive monthly the DB, like that you can if requested show a file existed or not at a time...(e.g. programmers removing programs and forgetting asking you to restore the program maybe erased by mistake within last few days: You can show it was not there 2 months ago already...)
