My first guess would be that when you rebooted into single user mode, your /usr partition wasn't mounted so find wasn't accessable. Not sure how you managed to "rebuild" the machine and still have find missing, but I can't really guess that without knowing what you meant by "rebuilt". Is /usr mounted? -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com
