Date: Sun, 13 Aug 1995 10:51:28 -0700 From: Bruce Perens Fdisk is in the miscutils package. I've already repaired this problem, and I think I got the new package uploaded before our primary FTP site went down. I'll check as soon as the FTP machine comes back up.

It should be in /sbin/fdisk, so that it can be used in single user mode, or disaster recovery, when only the root partition can be mounted. It would be possible to boot via floppies, of course, but that might be inconvenient. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Lars Wirzenius : New bug report received and forwarded.
