root/bin directory is empty on Desktop 9

Hi All,

I see that root/bin directory is empty on SuseDesktop 9. What could be the reason? How can I install the tools like awk, sed etc.

Thanks,
Ven

It doesn't matter if /root/bin is empty.

How can I install the tools like awk, sed etc.

Have you tried running them?

All should be allready installed and most basic Unix commands are in /bin not in /root/bin

Also look in /sbin and /usr/sbin

for various utilities
