If you don't use man pages, you may not need to even run it at all. It has a daily cron job here that I assume portage put there. I don't recall putting it there at least. I think it would be nice for it to check this after emerging something that updates a man page myself. Maybe some extra option in make.conf or something. Oooops, watch it already be a option that I don't know about. LOL You run locate every hour? You must really add files a lot. :-o Dale :-) :-)
