there is no such command to delete all partitions, though you kind of
can do it by changing the table type, say from msdos to gpt.
Also learned that the unused 4Mb I am seeing on most SD cards is for a
reason. To get on the

OK. One more to study. I was also told about gdisk.
But all of these are command menu programs. Not one-liners. The nice

Gparted did not do a good job, allowing me to make parititions not on
'cylinder boundaries'. And the labels it created were not recognized
when I mounted the drive. I had to use the disk utility to fix the
labels. Anyway, to

recovery partition on a 500GB hard drive. Here's the process I followed:
1. Shrink the Vista partition (I gave it 50 GB)
2. Create a 1GB boot parti

I've installed Fedora 15 to try the distro, it was a bit difficult at first
(I have used Slackware for the last 8 years) but I'm beginning to become
familiar with Fedora usage, although I have a few doubts about the
partitions.
For years I used to create 2 primary partitions, SWAP and EXT3,
