Hi,
    If you have a closer look at what you wrote, you would find theanswer to
you own question.

mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc1 /mnt

Try the directory /mnt/sbin

/sbin would be the rescue disk's or install disks sbin directory.
As youve mounted your hardrive in /mnt you need to go there for the programs
installed on your hardrive.

Hope it helps
