sgdisk *is* in the gdisk package and is used for scripting purpose. Just view manpage of it. I recommend to use either fdisk or cfdisk from util-linux meanwhile. They both are based on the same partitionining code meanwhile and support GPT. Or parted if you prefer that. Just look at the output of "apt changelog gdisk" to see how dated the Debian package for gdisk is. The upstream webpage has a newer version, but it is not yet packaged in Debian archive. So or so… this is off-topic here. So I suggest to ask partitioning related questions on debian-user instead. Thanks, -- Martin
