Hi SB,

Is this a follow up email?  There seems to be some presumptions that
the reader knows that you have done certain things a certain way.  Are
you using a live CD, or did you use a "jumpdrive"?  What kind of
partitioning do you have on your disk(s)?  What did you do when using
"puppy" that doesn't work with Ubuntu?

In trying to answer your question, you could try opening up a terminal
in Ubuntu (Apps...Accessories) and type "man find" to find out the
options when using the find command.

cheers,
