Hi, while it would be easy to remove the "write new empty partition table if reading the partition table failed" nonsense from FDISK, would it be against the FreeDOS SPECS to just replace it by, say, XFDISK? I mean, XFDISK is open source. It only does not LOOK like the old MS DOS user interface, but hey, that was crap anyway...
http://www.mecronome.de/xfdisk/index.php Eric PS: I am sure there are other, even better, alternatives, but xfdisk was just the first alternative FDISK that came into mind when I thought about replacements. And that xfdisk homepage has some false claims (e.g. only Lilo can boot Linux, and the first track has 17 free sectors which are free for xfdisk fiddling...) does not exactly make it more promising... Still better than FD FDISK? PPS: I know that our FDISK has a big number of command-line driven options, so whatever we use as replacement would also have to be quite scriptable, for those who really liked those features...! ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
