Re: RHEL partitioner question

["Randy Cole" <user=55@nabble.blu.org>]

 Red hat dropped cfdisk about 7.3, in the comment calling it a "piece of 
junk".  Last time I checked (fedora 6), it was still missing.  So I 
downloaded util-linux, removed the Redhat line deleting the program, 
compiled, then copied the binary. 

Program worked as normal.  Does cfdisk have any bugs these days?
