bash commands not working

My Fedora Core 6 installation does not allow me to run basic commands in the bash screen.
Commands like modprobe return with bash: modprobe: command not found.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

modprobe isn't a basic command, it's a system maintenance command reserved for the use of root. Use "su -" to become root, the dash following su is essential.
