USB booting :: find command

Sorry for digging up this old port, but issue that I am facing is related.

I am not able to perform case-insensitive search with find command.

For example:

find /mnt/hda1 -name FileName -print

works fine. But

find /mnt/hda1 -iname FileName -print

Does not. Is there way to upgrade "find" binary?

It's not a binary, just a small applet included in busybox. The real find is included in the gnu-utils mydsl extension. If you don't want to load all the full programs, you can extract only "find" from gnu-utils.dsl..

The find command in DSL is part of Busybox, so it is not full-featured. The GNU version of find is in the findutils.uci mydsl extension, in the "UCI" section.

Since it installs to /opt you'll need to add it to your PATH variable unless you use the full path to the executable or an alias. Note that symlinking the file into /opt/bin won't work in this case, since /opt/bin is at the end of PATH.

EDIT: ..or install gnu-utils =o)

Heh, beat ya :P

With unc's available, it makes sense to put gnu-utils in the mydsl folder..... (almost said "startup" folder.....)
