Announcing the new curses based fdisk program... cfdisk
cfdisk is a curses based disk drive partitioning program that can
create partitions for a wide variety of operating systems including
Linux, MS-DOS and OS/2. cfdisk was inspired by the fdisk program, by
A. V. Le Blanc (LeBlanc@mcc.ac.uk). I hope that this program will be
useful to both new and old Linux users, and I hope it will make the
installation process easier.
**** WARNING ****
If you write a bad partition table to disk, it may destroy data and
partitions.
You can FTP cfdisk from ftp.cs.unc.edu in the /pub/martin/linux
directory.
I would also like comments (good and bad) on the user interface, logic
and ease of use. If you have any suggestions for improvements, I
would be happy to hear them.
My e-mail address is martin@cs.unc.edu.
