Search & Find files on SuSe

If you installed the package "locate", you'll be able to search an indexed list of all files on your computer to find where they are.

locate [filename]

The slow method is "find"...as in:


find / -type f -name [filename]


find / | grep [filename]

Note: these commands are executed in a Terminal.
