mkbootdisk not found!!!
 

HELP!!

i'm trying to make a boot disk for redhat 7.3. the one i made when installing didnt work and the option from kde to make one wasnt working either so i went in the shell to try the mkbootdisk command but it says "command not found". what do i do now???


-emjay

should be in /sbin check there manually

yeah, i see the shell script in there. but why wont it work from in the shell? should there be an exacutable somewhere? do i have to do something special when i put in the command??

no, you can make shell scripts executable, so that if you type the name, it will execute it just like you typed all that in ( and just like "source <file>" or "sh <file>" .

so just do "/sbin/mkbootdisk" and it should run.

You can add /sbin to your $PATH variable if you don't want to have to use /sbin/<whatever>

ack! it says "Cannot find root partition in /etc/fstab" but its a lie cuz i saw the / partition in there myself! what does it mean?
