It asked me for a script. I just tried again and it did not ̣so probably I did something wrong. Nevertheless I had trouble using cfdisk, as I wrote to Danny this morning (as part of my feedback on the installer). Most important: cfdisk offers too many and non-obvious options for partition types. The manual ought to state which to use – or if this can be ignored since mkfs will set the correct type anyway (it if does, as I mean to have seen). > There’s probably room for improvement, though we chose to not > (re)document everything about partitioning—it’s something that belongs > elsewhere IMO.

Yes, when using parted and I wanted to add a partition starting at sector 0. cfdisk did not ask for a start and aligned it automatically. > We don’t have the Parted commands because the manual suggests cfdisk. That's okay, but the manual mentions parted to set the efi flag. And since I had trouble with cfdisk, I used parted. > I’ve added the ‘mkfs.fat’ command.
