Guys, can anyone please tell me how to add /sbin to path? I just
don't know the how to append to path on Linux...am sorry if I gave
an impression otherwise.
And as for that path fudge some of you are talking about, it is
indeed true that /sbin is in fact in path, but as for me, this
peculiar symptom has arisen after i reinstalled (afresh).
Evidently its some kind of build failure...(please tell me if it
isn't)
thanx guys, this IS the community of Linux...that others can only
dream of :-)
