root commands like fdisk not working

matrim · 03-16-2007, 09:56 PM

I had to reinstall Fedora, and I think im just doing something stupid, but now most commands like fdisk won't work. I get a 'command not found'. Can someone help me figure it out?

>/sbin/fdisk -l will work

/sbin is not in your PATH now whereas it would have been earlier, to see what is there in PATH type
>$PATH

Thanks.

I get this weird thing when i type $PATH:

bash: /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin: No such file or directory

These are multiple paths seperated by :, one of the path does not exist so the error message of "no such file or directory"
you can check out path in .bashrc or .bash_profile, there will be seperate files for user & root
