help with finding app
I have kanotix and knoppix installed on seperate hard drives in order to see which one I like best as a hd install but I am having a problem. in knoppix, I easily found the kde app KPF, which is a file server. In kanotix, I cannot find it anywhere. the only difference I can see is that knoppix is running kde 3.2 and kanotix 3.3. I did a file search and found a folder for kpf but it has nothing executable in it to link to or make into a shortcut. Would someone please instruct me on how to find this program in kanotix? I have done a line by line search for it in the menu and cannot find it.
thanx

Is it even installed?
Code:
apt-cache policy kpf
As suggested by shah you can simply install it if not.
Code:
apt-get update &&& apt-get install kpf
If you can't find an app in the menu you can find the executable (if you know its name) like so:
Or just look for it like so:
Code:
updatedb
locate kpf

that worked...
Thanks for the help. It was obviously installed because apt-get remove uninstalled it. apt-get install put it back in my applet menu. Also thank you for showing the different commands. I have copied and pasted them into my noobie cheat sheet...not real pretty, but its something to go to till I get this learned.
thanx again
