Polzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/fdisk/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : linux fdisk replacement based on libparted GNU fdisk is a replacement to the old linux fdisk. It provides the same features as the original fdisk provides plus some interesting ones like: * partition resizing * creating filesystem on newly created partitions * partition integrity checking * copying/moving partition . GNU fdisk also intend to be a valid replacement for mac-fdisk and FreeBSD fdisk.

Well, binaries shipped in the packages are already renamed to avoid conflicts against (c)fdisk binaries shipped in the util-linux package. I'll rename the package to gnu-fdisk reflect binary name changes.
