now that is an even better idea, i don't care for mac-fdisk's command syntax anyway.. it would be nice to just learn the single traditional fdisk (which i already know) and be able to use it on all archs! > (The HFS > specifics could be grabbed from perldisk. iirc brian went and rewrote > parts that he needed to). huh? HFS has nothing at all to do with partition tables, its just a filesystem like DOS, ext2, whatever. that part belongs to the mkfs.* utilities. -- Ethan Benson
