fdisk is part of the base installation.  It has nothing to do with bash
except the usual place to run it is in a terminal and from a bash
prompt.

fdisk is located in /sbin.  Since /sbin is usually not in a user's
$PATH, this means you have to run it as root (e.g., from sudo) or
explicitly call it as /sbin/fdisk, or include /sbin into your $PATH.
