I don't need it myself (I only ran it to see if it supported Linux extended partitions (it didn't, at least in it's list of known partition types)). This is for the old Linux fdisk with a dumb terminal interface which hadn't changed much (in 1997) since it was first implemented in 1991 or 1992. It doesn't have a good interface, but I rather like it since most of it was apparently copied from the one I implemented in Minix fdisk in 1988 or 1989 :-). Others might prefer a more graphical interface. Which version did you port? Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
