This is a recent install so I wasn't expecting it to find much, just files I created basically. I just thought it odd that it found so many files and that qfile/equery didn't know where they came from either. That gcc one bugs me tho. It's in /usr/bin but doesn't belong to a package. Just blows my mind, which ain't much right now. lol I got to get better meds. Dale :-) :-)
