I'm trying to find out which modules are loaded on my machine. According to the documentation i should run thelsmod command. But I'm not able to find it anywhere. Can someone tell me where I can fine it please?

should be a root only applciation stored in /sbin/ if it's not there (which would be very bizarre) then install the modutils package

Under normal circumstances you can just type lsmod at a bash prompt. At least that is what I have always been able to do...

I did find lsmod and modprobe in /sbin but strangely enough /sbin is not in the system path settings.

You can also try:
whereis <command> to find commands
and also
locate <file/command> can be useful

Make sure that you enter:

su -

When you change to your root user. You must include the "-" in order to bring in the root user's environment including $PATH info.
