Hi Warren,

For locate, use "yum install slocate" which should include locate.
You could have done "yum search locate" which would have listed a
number of RPMs with locate in their name or description, among
them slocate.  It does seem strange that this wasn't installed
by default.

Since I had locate on my system, I just did:

gwiz% rpm -qf `which locate`
slocate-2.7-22
