>Description:
	Hi!
	This is an attempt to update the FAQ with an entry regarding the "touch: not found" error. From time to time people are asking and wondering about this strange and non-informative error, so I think an addition to the FAQ is in order.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	Apply the attatched patch which (tries to) document this error. Feel free to change the patch anyway you like.
