How do you use unix fdisk?  

On the cdrom disk there is fdisk in the E:\MANDRAKE\INSTIMAG\USR\BIN>
directory.  I saw that with MSDOS commands.  I don't know how to
access my cdrom disk while using linux.  

While using linux I went into the director /sbin on my hard drive.  At
the prompt [Richard@localhost /sbin]$    I typed fdisk and hit <CR>
the response was bash: fdisk: command not found.   I also typed
shutdown and hit <CR>  the response was bash: shutdown: command not
found.  Yet, when I type dir and hit <CR>, both fdisk and shutdown
seem to be in the /sbin directory.

I can't figure out how to execute any unix commands.  With DOS any
extension such as .bat, .exe, .com is executable
