Thanks for the tutorial I was always curious how find worked but never
got around to doing a "mand find".

[root-lwfWIikfpTg at public.gmane.org mel]# find / -iname fstab
/etc/fstab
 
[root-lwfWIikfpTg at public.gmane.org mel]# find / -iname fstab*
find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [path...] [expression]
[root-lwfWIikfpTg at public.gmane.org mel]#

I was horsing around with the find command and the "find / -name
fstab*" seemed to blow up but the fist find worked fine.  Any idea what
went wrong?
