problem reg fdisk


hello,

I'm trying to mount my fat32 partition, so to do that i have tried to obtain the name of the particular partition using Fdisk

but bash says that it cannot find the command ( i even tried this using root login )

where could i get fdisk if its not installed already?

btw i have RH 8 (shouldn't fdisk be installed with it)

Thanks
