Hi *,

JFYI - updatedb and locate are working perfectly now with B19 !
This is something I really missed in previous versions, so I thought,
others might be interested, too :)

To set the env vars and then run updatedb I wrote a small shell script.
I attach it to this posting - just in case :)
Of course you have to adjust all the paths to reflect your installation.

Bye.
Michael.
