fdisk Linux type

[Karl Larsen]

    I have seen the trend away from fdisk and always wondered why? Now 
if your trying to load Linux and you have some wierd problem, my 
approach is to look at the problem. And no better tool has been made 
than fdisk. I guess the powers to be have decided it is too powerful and 
hard to understand it should not be made public.

    Well if I have a problem I put in the now DVD "first disk" and punch 
rescue and let it come up and connect to my Linux. Then I run fdisk to 
see what is on the Hard disk. If I do not like what is there I change it 
to what I want. It always works and now I remember to check grub and 
make necessary changes.
