I think gptfdisk should be in LFS.
What about parted which is already in BLFS? Actually, I think BLFS may be good enough. We would need parted on the host system. If we need it after we boot into LFS, it can be built via BLFS. Also, util-linux plans to add GPT support into fdisk in version 2.22. That's probably six months away. I'm open to gptfdisk, but would like to see more discussion. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
