Redhat 8.0 Questions

[Eric Andresen]

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.
