Question about hardware...

[Matt Graham]

The more I get into this, the more I feel like a newbie.  _sigh_

So, if fdisk isn't in my path, I assume I'm missing a package or some
sort.  I went to redhats and looked for fdisk and it pointed me to the
util-linux package.  I also got the net-tools package because I don't
have ifconfig in my path either.  When I tried to install both of those,
I was told they were already installed.  So...  I guess fdisk and
ifconfig are already in there, but I just need to add them to path
maybe?  I wonder where they are, if they're in here.
