* Steve Langasek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2003-09-19 04:40]: | Package: partitioner | Version: 0.07 | Tags: d-i patch | | Partitioning on most alphas can only be done with fdisk, not cfdisk, | because cfdisk lacks BSD disklabel support (bug #211556). The attached | patch is a first try at a script for partitioner to use when we're | installing on an alpha. SRM magic patterned after the srm-reader udeb, | and has not yet been tested.
thanks for the patch, I will included it this weekend.
Bye
