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
