"find" command not finding [SOLVED]
Posted: Sun Mar 31, 2013 3:05 am
I don't know if I'm in the right place for this question.
I'll re-post if some one tells me a better place.
I was using the find command to find a missing iso file but it was not picked up.
The first command I used was:
This found one iso but not the one I was looking for.
So I put an "i" in front of the search term (i*.iso) because I knew it began with "install"
Can some one tell me why was it not picked up with the first try?
Thanks in advance for any information.
