I'd recommend doing an "updatedb" to update the database locate uses to find files. (Its basicly a cached find on your root partition.) Its possible that fdisk isnt installed anywhere, in which case you can get it from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux That package should include fdisk and cfdisk (which has a nicer ncurses based interface). As for RedHat RPMs, I'm sure you can find an rpm of util-linux somewhere. On Mon, 2002-11-04 at 18:19, Clayton Stapleton wrote: > Installation of Redhat 8.0 went easily.
