Angry accessing Korn shell in Linux 9.0

Hello,

Must be a very simple question for the linux techies..

I am trying to access Korn shell as root in redhat Linux 9., but its returns an error, "command not found"
Do i have to install ksh separately.?
I have installed everything except the network services like DNS, mail server..e.tc..

Any help is appreciated.

On the comand line type: SHELL=/bin/ksh
To check your current Shell Environment type: echo $SHELL

Hi,

Thank you all for your replies..

I figured out how to install pdksh...
We need to boot from the install CD, Select the upgrade option and choose to install Individual packages... Under this select shells and install pdksh!!
Strange we can't find this in add/remove options in the GUI!

Also, we can use the rpm command to install PDKSH, but it returns an error, but the shell seems to be working!

Cheers,
Skirao
