1 | Announcing the new curses based fdisk program... cfdisk |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | cfdisk is a curses based disk drive partitioning program that can | |
| 4 | create partitions for a wide variety of operating systems including | |
| 5 | Linux, MS-DOS and OS/2. cfdisk was inspired by the fdisk program, by | |
| 6 | A. V. Le Blanc (LeBlanc@mcc.ac.uk). I hope that this program will be | |
| 7 | useful to both new and old Linux users, and I hope it will make the | |
| 8 | installation process easier. | |

| 11 | **** WARNING **** | |
| 12 | If you write a bad partition table to disk, it may destroy data and | |
| 13 | partitions. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | ||
| 16 | You can FTP cfdisk from ftp.cs.unc.edu in the /pub/martin/linux | |
| 17 | directory. | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | I would also like comments (good and bad) on the user interface, logic | |
| 20 | and ease of use. If you have any suggestions for improvements, I | |
| 21 | would be happy to hear them. | |
