Hello,

attached you'll find a first implementation of the partition-by-script idea.

The "part-i.bat" script is the template - more or less; it also serves as the "interactive partition" menu entry.

I have a problem, though:

parted -s /dev/dsk -- mklabel msdos

does print a warning, but does nothing. It is to erase the partition table. Any ideas someone?

If fdisk_cmds matches "disk_script:(\S+)", the new script-based partition scheme is used. Each script is a DOS batch script, for Linux, the file is read and, beginning with "# Linux portion", each line matching /^\s*[^#:]/ is executed by system().

Future improvements if the stuff is OK so far:
Display the menu without filename and sort by description.

Question: Is the 4GB-partition hack still necessary for the Linux-bootdisk?

Bye,
