This has been reported before -- the bug is still outstanding for several reasons, but I will fix it in the next ELF release.
The future of the current version of fdisk seems to be somewhat questionable, especially now that Bruce is working on a front-end for fdisk 3.0. I suppose we'll probably retain this one in some shape or form just to keep familiar users happy. In any case, I expect to release a new version of miscutils this weekend, depending on my health after some minor surgery on Friday. :) Thanks, Jeff > Package: miscutils > Version: 1.3-5 > > The BUGS section of the manpage for fdisk: > > Although this man page (written by [EMAIL PROTECTED]) is > poor, there is excellent documentation in the README.fdisk > file (written by [EMAIL PROTECTED]) that should always be > with the fdisk distribution.
