Hi,

If anyone has read my previous posts, you can probably tell that I am new to the whole FreeBSD / UNIX thing. So sorry if my questions are a little simple.

Because I use my FreeBSD 4.6 machine purely for learning rather product use I am installing a lot of different programs to try them out.  What I am looking for is a program that I can run after each program is installed to see a the most simple level what files have been added, but I would also prefer to be able to see what files have been modified.

I believe this can be done using a combination of find & diff, but does anyone know of any good programs that provide more advanced options or simply provide better results.

Cheers for any help.

Regards

Lee
