No hdparm?

I just installed Fedora Core 2 and I can't seem to get hdparm to work. I downloaded two other versions and tried installing them but with no luck. I see the file in /sbin but will not execute although it is set as an executible file. Any suggestions?

I figured it out just as I clicked "submit post". I probably should have waited a bit longer. I tried typing the absolute path /sbin/hdparm and it worked. I never had to do that before when I used Red Hat. How do I make it so I can type just hdparm and have it work? Not that I really need to but it would be nice to know how. Later
