    Yes, get an RPM and install it
    Then use chsh to change your default shell to ksh

    Thanks for the quick response. Appreciate if you can point me to any site links where I can down load the rpm. Also I notice in my root/bin dir is empty. Shouldn't be there the executables files for the tools and others. How do I fix this.

    Thanks.

    No need to fix
    /root/bin

    is for the root account
    /bin
    maybe what you are thinking of

    Its confusing since we often call '/' root and it is the root directory but there is also a special root user the admin. His user directory is off of root not off of home.

    yast should have ksh in its package list. try searching in there.
    also, all the answers given are wrong. the root tools are kept in /usr/sbin and /sbin.
    Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
    Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
    Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

    Are you sure? Can you run ls or ps commands. These are some of the files located in /bin.
