Hi, I used to do run some commands on Cygwin, until I completely moved to Linux based development. I have a situation where I thought Cygwin can help me.
I need to partition an SDHC card. I have a SD slot in my Windows laptop, but I dont have a good software to partition for boot and linux. I have a SD Card reader that I could insert to Linux machine, but it seems it has gone bad. I am not really familiar with partitioning, but the commands from the relevant docs says I need to use fdisk (the web page is here http://omappedia.org/wiki/Minimal-FS_SD_Configuration). required partitioning: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sde1 * 1 9 72261 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sde2 10 120 891607+ 83 Linux If I read mails correctly, the cygwin-1.3.16-1 release has fdisk with it (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg01300.html), but it was ultimately removed, and perhaps we need to compile now. from source. Now, I am not interested in code compilation for time being (got to do with a lot of Linux kernel compilation now...); I might just buy a cheap Card reader. Questions (assuming cygwin fdisk can indeed help me partition the SDcard): 1. Is it true that cygwin-1.3.16-1 haD fdisk, if so where can I find that older release setup.exe? 2. Is there a way I can get the package to the latest release without compilation?
