fdisk in fedora 8

Submitted by ravisagar on Fri, 04/25/2008 - 15:36.

I installed Fedora 8 last week on my computer. After installation I wanted to mount one windows FAT32 partition, before mounting the partition I fired fdisk command to check the partition letters. To my surprise fdisk command was not there!

But there was nothing to worry about. I found this tool icommand /sbin/ folder

So if you are using fedora 8 and want to use fdisk then use....

/sbin/fdisk
