Hi ordep
TC4 has slocate. It has no dependencies. You can try downloading it from:
http://tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86/tcz/slocate.tcz
Let us know whether it works or not and what version of TC you are running.

TC-plus-6.4.1

Code: [Select]

$ slocate mc
slocate: fatal error: Could not find user database '/usr/local/var/lib/slocate/slocate.db':  No such file or directory
tc@box:~$ sudo updatedb
sudo: updatedb: command not found

Any other way to generate slocate.db?

I just saw I should use the -u flag first to generate the db.

Code: [Select]

slocate -u
Will check later and report.

Actually the info file says:

Comments:       Run "slocate -u" as root to create or update the database.  That
                            can take several minutes and must be done before using slocate.

So either:

Code: [Select]

sudo slocate -uor:

Code: [Select]

sudo su
slocate -u
exit

Hi ordep
Thanks. One of the administrators will probably copy it to the other repo once they see this.
