Hi Tom,
The following assumes you do know which tree the "unknown directory"
is under.
find /somedir -name filename -ls
or
find /somedir -name filename -print
to get two different ways of file or directory information.
It should be easy to find a file unless your system is a mess of
directories.
Some people sugested to use locate but that won't show files created
after a utility slocate is run by a cron job. Of course you can run
slocate manualy to update the database before using locate.
