line 1: head: command not found

(happens on boot - and when i run the 'enemy territory' installer ;)

I don't know what's wrong beside the obvious. ALSA is working as fine as always, despite this, but when I run the enemy territory installer, I get the following message, also containing'head: command not found':

[pimple@moominbox setups]$ sh et-linux-2.56-2.x86.run
Verifying archive integrity...et-linux-2.56-2.x86.run: line 1: head: command not found
Error in MD5 checksums: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e is different from 01d1c915476778f01d73e5aa092039a2

As for the checksums, the file works on my brother's computer, also running Mandrake 9.1.

-   Weird. '/usr/bin/head' is a part of 'coreutils', which should be installed
on your system by default. Try typing 'which head' to see if it is there,
and if not, install coreutils:

# urpmi coreutils

-   Thanks. I installed the package 'textutils" (found on rpmfind), and it's working fine again :)

I don't know what went wrong though - and it seems like the coreutils were installed already. Only the /usr/bin/head file was missing.
