Well, here's the deal. rdate is not installed on my SuSE 6.3 system. I
tried grepping the '/ls-lR.gz' file on the first CD, but no dice. I
can't seem to figure out where they put it, if they included it at all.
Ah, nifty. I just used that command. (I thought at first you meant the
website itself.) It looks like the --apropos option will do the same as
an apt-cache search. Very cool. It found the package and offered to
download it for me. All that's left is to install it.
Cool. Done without a hitch. (Although I have to throw in that I had to
manually install it from /tmp..... :P <g>)
Very nifty, thanks for the tip!
Bill
