I used a very old slackware-based system of mine to create the diskette.
I can't think of very many Debian commands that won't work under Red Hat.
Perhaps they were not in the default path?  Red Hat does not put several
useful directories in the path, so you have to either add them yourself
or else specify the path each time you run the command.

Slackware rules!

Hope this helps.
