Shalom,

fdisk is an rpm. Install it from the original install media.

fdisk is in /sbin - /sbin/fdisk.

Check for PATH variable.

In RedHat it gets install by default.

Try to find it using

whereis fdisk
or
which fdisk..

Please tell me that you, unlike me, have some
magic versions of "whereis" or "which", which
don't only look for a program on the user's
PATH, which we already know won't work.

If you believe that the program is really
somewhere, but you don't know where, I can
imagine using "find" to find it. Asking a
shell where it found a program which we know
that it can't find seems to me to be -- how
should I phrase it? -- foolish? Or am I the
one who's missing something obvious?
