Well, I have done some looking around and I really am lost.  That find 
command...what goes in where it says name. 
I looked in config.log and after about 20 minutes I was only at 19% of 
the file.  Looks like it would take quite awhile before I got to the end. 
Would I be better off starting from scratch?  I don't have as much time 
as I would like to work on this, so I'm looking for a easier/faster way.
