Commands not working in Red Hat Linux Enterprise 5
 

Weird things happening,
I wanted to see the drives and used the fdisk -l command (in "su" mode). But it says "Bad Command". Also I remember unix had a command uname -X which also isn't working.

Also Red Hat Linux Enterprise 5 doesn't go into "Suspend" mode?

Whats going on??? Can anyone tell me?

Bye.

Typically, in RedHat systems, you have to take on the root environment to run certain commands without the full path. This is because the PATH environment variable is set differently for root vs. regular users.

In a terminal, enter "su -" to take on root's privileges **and** environment

I have a little page on this. (It was changed in Fedora, around the time of F10, I think).

Do what Pixellany said, then

fdisk -l

uname -a

here's the Deployment Guide for RHEL 5: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_boo...ion/index.html ; recommended.
