I have installed FC4 Linux properly, but the INIT command is not working. It gives error "command not found".

1. I had reinstalled FC4, but no hopes. I m able to find manual entry for INIT, but command not working.
2. Can u tell me whats the problem?
3. Here is my guess of what's going on and where you can find init.

   The init command is located in a directory that is not in the path of normal users in Fedora Core. It is located in /sbin/

   so to run it you would type in the command line:
   /sbin/init

   Gotcha! you need to be root or a superuser to run the command.

   Steps to run init:
   (from the command line)

   su -
   enter your root password
   init
   exit (once you run init, you do not want to be root unless you have to)

   A quick way to find the location of a command is to switch to root on the command line and use the wich command.

   Example:

   su -
   enter you root password
   which init
   exit (once again, do not be root unless you have to)

   I hope this helps and sorry to hear that you had to do a complete reinstallation.

4. I had installed other Linux like Mandrake on other machines, and there INIT is working properly, but not with FC4.
