Description Jordan Armstrong 2002-04-16 13:39:59 UTC

This idea is taken from the forums. cfdisk is a great, easy to use, and small 
partitioning program that I feel should be included on the install CD. This 
would make partitioning much easier to do for new users.

Nice idea, as according even to the fdisk manpage (if i remember correctly)
they urge you to use cfdisk as its alignment is better.

Will add ncurses to the install cd though (if not on already).
