pmac-fdisk came from a source package made a long time ago by a m68k oriented person who made an incorrect assumption, I replaced this with mac-fdisk a number of months ago, but powerpc hasn't had a new boot-floppies build since then. >I remember using pdisk and/or pmac-fdisk at one point, which all worked >properly, but I noticed that even on my system currently running Debian-PPC I >don't have an fdisk that will handle this... AFAIK that package has always been broken and I should know because I was the one that bootstrapped the first glibc 2.1 based incarnation of Debian/PowerPC. -- Joel Klecker (aka Espy) Debian GNU/Linux Developer <URL:mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <URL:mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <URL:http://web.espy.org/> <URL:http://www.debian.org/>
