Please include >=sys-block/disktype-9 in future livecds. It's quite handy when 
rebuilding boxes or doing forensic analysis. It's a bit more detailed over 
file -s /dev/hda* 
Version 9 is marked stable on ppc, sparc, x86 and amd64.

Thanks in advance.

I just wanted to let you know that this will *not* show up on the Minimal CD, and only on the full-blown LiveCD releases.  Why, you ask?  Size.  Yes, I know that this is a small utility, but if I accepted all of the small utilities that people asked for, we'd be upwards of 200MB for the "minimal" CD and it would be impossible to make a Universal CD for the arches that need it.  If time weren't an issue, this would be perfect for a reimagined "dolphin" rescue CD.

This should be fixed in 2008.0
