Please don't drop gdisk - it has special features not found in other tools, e.g. for migrating between formats and creating "hybrid" MBRs: See its manpage about the "recovery & transformation menu". If noone else steps up, I might look after it, but I prefer if someone else does it (I have my hands full already). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
